Corey.....certain cell protection.....
Corey.....a few weeks back you helped me try to stop certain cells from
being protected...............Dec 12th 2006 13.09 I can't quite get it to work......................... Ive got a large-ish sheet open but only want to allow certain cells to be able to be alterred............ I seem to be able to either block the whole sheet or else it allows every cell to be over written... Dave :) |

DB - I'm not Corey; but I have a sheet where some of the cells are locked and
some aren't. Then the sheet is Protected. I choose the cells I want people to be able to change and Format cells as UNLOCKED. All other cells should be LOCKED if you don't want them changed. Then Protect the sheet and they will only be able to change the cells you have made UNLOCKED. HTH.
