I want to set up protection on a worksheet, but when I try to add the range/s of cells I get to an amount, then it resets itself. I am assuming this is the maximum limit of cells for the range.
If I create a 2nd and 3rd range, is it possible to set to default all 3 ranges when the workbook is opened? How ? My aim is to enable ONLY the selected range of cells to able to have data entered/removed. All other cells are NOT available. BUT,, there's more.... I need the code for emailing a layout in a email body to STILL be available to the user. The worksheet has numerous formulas and references to other cells, and I do not want these to be modified. Possible? Corey.... |

Corey,
I suspect that in moving from range to range you're releasing the [shift] or [ctrl] key which is resetting your selection. Remember that you don't have to select all of the cells you want to protect at the same time to protect them. You can select them in groups. I find this sometimes takes the frustration out of protecting cells that are widely separated on a large sheet. To select cells that are spread around a sheet, hold down the [Ctrl] key while selecting them. You can then use Format to set the Locked state for all currently selected. The problem comes when you go to select another cell and accidentally release the [Ctrl] key - all the previously selected cells become unselected. Hope this helps some.
