How do you protect the formula?
Occationally the person doing the data entry will inadvertantly type over the formula line and the formular will no longer work. How can I prevent this? I want the user to be able to change the formular if they need to, but I don't want it to happen accidentally.

How do you protect the formula?
First you will have to unlock the cells you want for data entry. Highlight
the cells reguired. Go to formatcellsprotection then uncheck the locked box Then you will have to Protect the worksheet. Go toolsprotectionprotect worksheet. When asked to enter a passwork just click ok. That way no password will be reguired to unprotect the sheet.
