Try;
Activesheet.scrollarea="A1:L21"

or what ever the area you want to lock;
Note: you set it from a macro...BUT you will
need to run this macro everytime when loading
to lock it.

Klaus

It can go in a macro that runs when the file is opened:

'StartUp Macro
'Executes automatically when the program opens.
Sub Auto_Open()
ActiveSheet.ScrollArea = "A1:L21"
End Sub

Then, when you later want to mod the worksheet run

'Remove Scroll Lock Macro
Sub Undoit()
ActiveSheet.ScrollArea = All
End Sub
