How do I hide and lock one or more columns without locking the whole sheet. I know with hide that the person can then simply unhide so I need a way to lock the columns and make them untouchable?

Hi Laura

Once you have hidden the column, simpy put a password on the sheet

TOOLS > PROTECTION > PROTECT SHEET
add a password
verify password

When you do this, the other user will not be able to make a modification to the sheet, unless they have your password.

Regards

Richard

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
