I would like to lock  all cells except the ones where I have cells set
up for entries. I don't want the non entry cells to be edited, because
I have formulas in there that I don't want changed.

Thanks, Ron

Hi Ron -

The process may seem somewhat convoluted, but *all* cells are Locked by
default - it just doesn't go into effect until you turn Protection on:-)
So...

Select the cells that need to remain editable then go to Format> Cells -
Protection. Remove the check for Locked. When finished go to
Tools>Protection>Protect Sheet.
