Can I lock cells so that the formulas can't be changed?

Thanks,
Newbi
 
If you lock the cells and protect the sheet, you can do this.

Ctrl-A (twice if you're running xl2003) to select all the cells.
Edit|Goto|Special|Formulas
Format|Cells|Protection tab|Locked

Unlock the cells that require changes.

Tools|Protection|protect sheet.

Give it a nice password.

That said, worksheet protection is very weak. There's code posted here every
day/week that would unprotect the worksheet.

=======
The default "lockedness" of a cell is locked. You may not need to change the
formula cells--but it doesn't hurt.
