That feature is not available in Excel 97. Users would have to
upgrade.

I am working on a project related to spreadsheet security and
would like to
utilize the flexibility the "Allow users to edit ranges..."
feature in Office
03 offers. Most people at the company appear to still be on
office 97 (Win2k
is the OS) and this feature does not appear to work. Does
anyone know if
there is anyway to use this feature in office 97, or would an
upgrade be
required?
