Hi. Can the contents of columns in Excel be locked (as in ACCESS) to prevent
accidental changes to the data? Thanks.

By default all cells are locked when the sheet is protected.

Hit CRTL + A(twice if xl2003) then Format>Cells>Protection. Uncheck "locked"
and OK.

Select the cells you wish to lock and Format>Cells>Protection. Check "locked"
and OK.

Now Tools>Protection>Protect Sheet.
