Is there anyway to lock the cells so that they can't even type anything? I just played around with your recommendation and it is what I'm looking for; however, I could make changes and save a Copy of it, and I don't want them to be able to do that.

Thanks so much for your help thus far.

We have a Shared Drive here in my office (training department for a local healthcare system.) I have a Room Reservation calendar on the Shared Drive for everyone to view. When opened, a prompt "Do you want to open as Read-only" pops up. When I open it, I tell it "No" so that I can make changes. However, I do not want anyone else in the department to be able to make changes.

Our Computer Instructor and I tried figuring out now to protect it to where I am the only one who can make changes, even with it being on the Shared Drive, but are having trouble. Can anyone help?
