Protect cell range
 
By default, all cells in a worksheet are locked if the sheet is protected.

If you want certain cells to be editable, select these cells and unclock
them (Format Cells Protection tab and uncheck Locked)

Tools Protection Protect Sheet will then protect the rest of the sheet
from change.

Hi Sanjiv,

If you are using XL2003..

1. select all cells on your worksheet by clicking the grey box top left
corner of your sheet (jsut above Row 1 and to the left of Column A)

2. Right click and selet Format Cells from the menu

3. Select the Protection Tab and uncheck the Locked box and click ok

4. Select the Range that you want to protect

5. Right click again, Select Protection and Locked box. Click ok. (this will
lock the range)

6. Select Tools from the menu bar and Protection, Protect Sheet. Uncheck the
Select Locked Cells box.

7. Enter a Password, Click Ok.

And that's it.

Hope this helps.
