allowing user to format a protected cell
Hi
When I protect a worksheet, even when a particular cell is unlocked, users are unable to change the font size, number of decimals in a calculation, colour of text, bold it, change the width of the colums etc. Is there anyway to allow users to make these alterations, while still protecting other (locked) cells on the same worksheet? Thanks for your thoughts / advice andrew. |

allowing user to format a protected cell
If you are using xl2002/2003 then you can protect the sheet and allow users
to format cells, unfortunately this means all cells not just those unlocked. Earlier versions do not have this feature. I believe that you would need to dynamically unprotect the sheet, test the cells for those you allow users to change (named ranges for example) then protect the sheet again, all under the control of a VBA program triggered by the change events.
