Perminant Template

[Guest]

I am creating an order form for a small business on Excel 1997, and I want to save the template so that the cells with 'permanant' information cannot be changed. I have it saved as a template, but the option 'Spreadsheet Solutions' is more what I'm looking for- I only want users to input information with product information, and not be able to change the other settings of the template... Is this possible? Thanks for any help...

You could go and unlock the cells other then the ones
containing the data then protect your worksheet with a
password. Then resave it as a template, close it and go to
explorer and right click on this file then select
properties and check the box as read only. This way when
users save it it will be saved with their info only and
your template will stay blank apart from the info you have
provided. Yes.
