Yes, in excel 2003 you should be able to protect the worksheet, with the
following settings:

ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
, AllowInsertingRows:=False, AllowDeletingRows:=False

The next statement, allows you to change the cell values(What you refer as
editing):

Cells.Locked = False

So, protection that disables insert-row and delete-row but allows editing is
NOT possible !

You can protect the sheet after the Database has been updated using the
following statement:


ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True

This will allow selecting cells, but not inserting rows.

Dear All,

Is it possible to ensure that the use cannot insert or delete rows in the
first printed page ( rows 1 till 38 in my case).
Since there is a button that insert data from a SQL-database in the first
page this page shoud not be altered in number of rows but the user shoud
still be able to change cell-data!

Thanks,

Filip
