Hi, I have allowed edit ranges for a number of different people. Once setup I have then locked the cells and protected the sheet.

When I try and cursor around now, the cursor is erratic taking me everywhere but to the cell i want to change?

Am I correct to lock the cells? I dont see how else it can work?

Also, very oddly, my cursoe when moved to the left beyond column A it suddenly jumps to column FX!!!


Thanks in advance

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
First of all you need to clear Lock checkbox for cells you want users to select and edit.
Secondly when locking a worksheet you need to:

- check Select unlocked cells
- check/uncheck Select locked cells (this is up to you)

Excel skips selecting locked cells when "Select locked cells" was unchecked when you locked a worksheet. So if you mislocked some cells you will end up with problems you mentioned.
