Thanks Peo, this works. I'm impressed but as not very intuitive and not easy to find except by MVP user - I would still suggest this be more user friendly. It is a valuable use and I have challenged many excel "experts" to show me this before and they could not. regards "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: Before you suggest something you might want to check out if this functionality exists If you select all cells and do formatconditional formatting and formula is =CELL("protect",A1)=0 -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "MikeH" wrote in message ... in lotus 123 there was a useful / often used conditional formatting (by background colour) of unprotected cells for data input.

I agree that help in all versions except Excel 97 is bad, maybe that is
where the suggestion should be at. Let's face it, help in Excel these days is horrible -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "MikeH" wrote in message ... Thanks Peo, this works.
