Hi All
I wish to protect a worksheet and also record any change history in certain cells. One person has the password to unprotect that worksheet and make changes which I wish to record. If I use the 'share workbook' functionality in Excel it does not allow me to protect the workbook from other users making changes.
Can anyone help.

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

That still allows other users to make changes to the workbook and save. It only protects the history.
Any other ideas??

When you save the file (do "Save As"), click tools in the upper right of the dialog, select General Options and enter the appropriate passwords to open or modify the hile.

Hope this helps.
