I have a bit of a dilemma. I need to only protect the width of my columns. As my users need to have the ability to add/delete rows, make changes to date/text cells, but not be able to adjust the column width.

Is this possible?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
I'm not sure if this is the best way of dealing with this but you insert following code into the Worksheet module:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Columns("F:F").ColumnWidth = 20
End Sub

The user can try and modify the column width but the moment they move to another cell the width will return to your deafult.
