Default retaining cell data once entered

is it possible for a cell to be un-altered once data has been inputted?
i.e. if in A1 the letter "Y" is entered then it cannot be altered unless by
a nominated person

any ideas?

regards
Hoyt

Not really, you could protect the sheet and give the password to someone
that enters a value but if you mean to capture a value entered by one person
and only have another person being able to edit it would be very hard. You
would need code that would protect the sheet once an entry has been made but
that can be overcome by changing macro security and not enable macros and if
someone really wanted to know how to get around it there is always Google.
