I am putting together a template for users to download. Very basic information, but I would like to lock the sheet, except for the 10 fields that I need them to input information on.

Sorry for such a basic question, but I cannot figure out to lock a sheet, while allowing certain fields unlocked.

I'm using MS 2010. Thanks for any help you can offer and have a great weekend.

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Select the data entry cells, press CTRL + 1, on the protection tab uncheck Locked and click OK. Then on the Review tab, protect the sheet.
