    Data validation can limit the entry to a cell, but it doesn't 'LOCK' a cell. Can you explain what you want to do exactly?
    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve
