    Hi,

    Select the range you wish to allow the user to access.
    Right click, properties, protection, untick "locked"
    On the review tab, click protect sheet, and untick "select locked cells", click OK
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1

    Select the first empty column, yjen Ctr;+Shift + Right arrow to select all columns to the right. Then Right click on the Column Headers & choose hide.

    Repeat this on the rows to hide

    Then protect the sheet
    Hope that helps.

    Re: limited rows and columns

    Thank you sweep and royUK. I was trying to get my cursor to move to the beginning of the next row down from the end of the previous row when I hit Tab (avoid an extra keystroke -- downarrow+home).

    Works great!

    I'm brand new to the forum.

    THANKS!
