I trying to create a work sheet that only allows a user to choose an
option from a drop down menu once, after that I would like it to be
locked, does any one know if this is possible.

Thanx
Alex

Depends on how you made the dropdown box and what version of excel you're using.

Did you use Data|Validation, a dropdown from the Forms toolbar or a combobox
from the control toolbox toolbar?

If you used xl97 and data|validation, where was the list--typed into the
data|validation dialog or on another sheet.

I'm using excel 2000, and I created the Combo Box using the Forms tool
bar.

The combo box is working but I would like other users to be able to
choose one option but not be able to change it if someone has already
chosen an option.

Its for a diary on our network, so that people can request a day off.
With the way things are at the moment I can't trust anyone lol.
