    Allowing Data Input on one tab, but "Read-Only" on all other tabs

    Hello,

    I have built an Excel form to submit a lamp audit from a commercial building. There are three tabs:

    1. Instructions - to educate sales partner on how to exactly fill out each field
    2. Lamp Audit Page - input data collected from site (lamp wattage, fixture type, quantity, etc)
    3. ZIP File Help - tutorial on how to ZIP photos and electric bills

    I want the "Instructions" and "ZIP File Help" tab to be read only, I do not want sales partners to edit any text or photos on these tabs BUT I need them to be able to insert data in the "Lamp Audit Page"

    Any help on how to make certain tabs read only?

    Thanks,

    Alessa

    Use..
    Select all cells on relevant sheets --format cells--protection--check the locked box
    go to 'Review'-- 'protect sheet' and protect the relevant sheets with password.
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!
