My Excel application needs to be secure and i need to hide the first column
and the first row of my sheet.
More over, i would like to lock them.

How can i do that?

Thanks

Just hide the columns and protect the sheet. Add a password if desired. It
can be easily broken

Laurent,
Security with Excel is very relative: all passwords (for sheets, workbooks,
and vba code can easily be broken.) If you simply want to hide something
from a casual user ok, but don't think it is secure from an advanced user.

To Hide a column or row: select the column by clicking on the Letter at the
top or the Row number at the far left. Then click on the menu item:
formatRowHide or ColumnHide

For protection: Hold down the Alt Key and press TPP
