You can lock the cell (format|cells|protection tab|check locked)
then protect the worksheet (tools|Protection|Protect sheet) If you need code for this, you can record a macro when you do it manually. jose riu wrote: I need to write-protect one o more cells , but i need that this cells can be selectec.

in xl2002+, you can protect the sheet and allow/prohibit users from selecting
cells. Make sure that you allow the users to select what you want. Tools|Protection|protect sheet Allow all users of this worksheet to: make su Select locked cells is checked You may have changed it and excel will remember these settings until you change them again. jose riu wrote: ok, i did that, but i can't select the cell after the sheet is protected. and, y need ti protect the cell for write o modify, but not for select. this way , i can use the active cell address info, in a macro for other function. if you don't understand me (becuse my english is very bad), i can write it in spanish and try to translate it to english with any utility. thanks and regards. -- Jose Riu Buenos Aires Argentina "Dave Peterson" wrote: You can lock the cell (format|cells|protection tab|check locked) then protect the worksheet (tools|Protection|Protect sheet) If you need code for this, you can record a macro when you do it manually. jose riu wrote: I need to write-protect one o more cells , but i need that this cells can be selectec.

how do i protect one cell for write but not for select?
ok, again, i did that.
i know how to protect a sheet and the cells that i want . but the problem, is the fact that i can't protect the celss for write and allow the users select them at the same time. if i protect the cells, i can't select them. and if i unprotect them, i can select the cells, but the users can modify or write on them. that's the cuestion. regards. -- Jose Riu Buenos Aires Argentina "Dave Peterson" wrote: in xl2002+, you can protect the sheet and allow/prohibit users from selecting cells.

What version of excel are you using?
And I'd say try it again. You should be able select a locked cell on a protected worksheet. jose riu wrote: ok, again, i did that. i know how to protect a sheet and the cells that i want . but the problem, is the fact that i can't protect the celss for write and allow the users select them at the same time. if i protect the cells, i can't select them. and if i unprotect them, i can select the cells, but the users can modify or write on them. that's the cuestion. regards. -- Jose Riu Buenos Aires Argentina "Dave Peterson" wrote: in xl2002+, you can protect the sheet and allow/prohibit users from selecting cells.

how do i protect one cell for write but not for select?
i'm using excel 2003.
i do not say that you say me that i'll try again. sorry if you understand me on the wrong sense. i check the locked cell, and then protect the sheet with "locked cells", only. in this case, i can't select the locked cells, that i want. please, correct me if i'm doing something wrong. thanks -- Jose Riu Buenos Aires Argentina "Dave Peterson" wrote: in xl2002+, you can protect the sheet and allow/prohibit users from selecting cells.
