Allowed and Denied users problem

[[email protected]]

Goodmorning everyone,
I've got a problem:

I have 7 rows to deny ALL users to select and change them.
Then 9 rows to deny users to change them, but allow for SOME users to
change them.
After that 5 rows to deny ALL users to select and change them.
It is like a puzzle...

When I Protect locked and unlocked cells, and lock the first 7 rows and
the last 5, user which I allow to edit changes can still change the
rows.
(Users which I deny can't edit changes at all, which is good)

Who can help me???

If you're using xl2002+, you can allow certain users access to certain ranges.

Before xl2002, there was nothing built into excel that could do what you want.
You'd have to build your own macros that verify, unprotect, allow the changes,
and reprotect.

Not a simple task.

I'm using xl2003
What I tried to do is more selections to alow users to edit range, but
I only can pick one from the list. Is it possible to range multiple
selections??

I selected the first area and then used ctrl-click to select more areas and I
could assign a single password to that multiple area selection.

(If that's what you meant???)
