Possible to lock a range from calculating formulas?

[rick]

I have a sheet with two ranges, nearly identical in format and formulas,
where one is a constant update of budgets, forecasts, variances etc. The
other is a revised budget. It has the same fields but I need to lock it in
time and not have calculations done until it is allowd to do so at some
point in the future. When the User checks a box on a form it signifies that
the revised budget has been approved and I would like to stop any more
calculations until such time that the checkbox is cleared and then
re-checked.

Is this clear? Is it doable?

Thanks.

It is difficult to stop the calculations.
A better idea would be to make a copy of your range using Paste special to
paste values only, not the formulas.
