    Hi,
    I want to create a template where in few fields like suppose
    Company Logo
    1.Name
    2.Age
    3.telephone number
    Q1.
    Now the user will open the document .I want that user should not be
    able to change the logo and the titles.He should be able to only fill
    the fields.I want to restrict the access to few cells in short,Kindly
    guide me how to accomplish this task .Is it possible to do so?Can I
    protect few cells in the worksheet from editing?If yes how?Plz help.Plz
    tell me if it can't be done.

    I have few word documents also wherin I have to do the same,a part of
    the document should be frozen I mean restricted from editing (the names
    of fields) and user will only be able to fill the fields.Kindly help I
    have to submit it today.

    Q2.
    I have a work sheet with some format(Ex:-name age telephone number) now
    I want that if user adds a new work sheet into this workbook the new
    worksheet should automatically open up with the same format .if he adds
    5 worksheets all should open up with the same format.without the need
    for the user to copy it from the prev sheet.
    Kindly help me with the ways to do this.

    Regards and Thanks in advance

    Q1.
    Select cells you want to allow to modify.
    Cell formatting/Protection/Uncheck Locked option/OK
    Protect worksheet: Tools/Protection/Sheet protection/OK

    Q2.
    This is a workbook_event code:
    Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
    Sheets("ExistingSheet").Cells.Copy '<--CHANGE the sheet name as necessary
    Sh.Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
    SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    End Sub

    Post if you need help to install it!

    Re: How to protect few cells of the worksheet from editing?and few oth

    Hi Stefi,
    I got the way to protect cells,thnk u for tht,but in the 2nd
    question I also want the new worksheet to gain the protection for the
    same cells along with getting pasted.I jsut started learning VBA a week
    back,writing macros,wanted to know how do I get to know which methods
    or properties to use,I think it all comes with experience,I hope one
    day I too will be able to clear doubts of the questins posted.

    Coming back to my question no 2
    1=2EHey I copied the event code u sent me ,when I inserted a new sheet
    its just selecting all the cells of the new sheet as per sh.select but
    not pasting the contents of the cells from the template worksheet .I
    don't understand why. Its selecting the contents to be copied from the
    template sheet,because on new sheet when I am clicking ctrl+v its
    pasting the content but in the workbook_event code its not.Reply back
    plz.

    2=2EAs per my understanding the code you sent will copy the entire
    contents of the template sheet to the new sheet,can I modify the code
    to copy only selected cells like only the headings titles and not the
    entries below it.ok will try and do it.at present its not pasting
    anything.

    3=2EAlso I wanted to have the new worsheet with the same protected cells
    as its template has.

    tell me how to do it.

    Thanks a lot for ure time and help ,
    Cheerz,
    Divya

    Hi divya,

    That is because You wrote that you want new sheets "open up with the same
    FORMAT" and you didn't mention same CONTENT!
    Replace line
    > > Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
    > > SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

    by
    ActiveSheet.Paste

    Re: How to protect few cells of the worksheet from editing?and few

    Hi Stefi,
    I want the new sheet to inherit the protected cells from its
    template.Can I do this?Example Consider a worksheet named EMP has 3
    headings Name Place Age in cells A1 A2 A3 ,I have locked the 3 cells
    and protected this work sheet.Now I put the workbook event code .So
    when new workbook is created all the the three fields Name Place and
    Age are Copied into this sheet.but they are now not protected.I want
    all the new sheets to have these fields cells as protected.Can I do
    this directly in the workbook event or I will have to again follow the
    steps to protect cells every time I make new sheet and manually protect
    these cells?
    Cheerz ,
