    Move cursor to Unlocked cells only

    Hello,
    Been a while.
    I have a quick question. I think I'm stuck back in Lotus, but maybe not.
    Here's the question: is there a way to restrict cursor movement to unlocked cells only? I know I have used a method in the past for sales and payroll sheets - that was a long time ago. I figured there would be something similar in Excel, but I'm having 0 luck in solving it.
    Any insights would be cool.
    Thank you.
    Happy eve',
    Shawn

    May I remind you protect process in Excel

    1) Choose cells those need to be unlocked: Ctrl-1 (format cell), Protection, uncheck "Locked" box

    2) Move to "review" menu / Protect sheet then check/uncheck the relevant boxes: "Select locked cells" ( uncheck) and "Selected unlocked cells" (check)

    OK

    Hello,
    Thank you - that was what I wanted. I stumbled on the 'Select Locked Cells' etc . . .
    All fixed.
    Happy night,
