    I have about 10 different feilds across a row, some of the fields are list boxes. I want to force entry across the row or at least for some specific cells, if any of the other cells are edited.

    Ive been trying to figure this out and its probably simple but i would much appreciate anyones help

    Not 100% sure what you want here, but maybe

    Turn off cell protection for those cells you want edited, then protect the sheet.

    Other than that you will need a macro , when a list box is updated it runs through and protects or unprotects the cells.

    You will need to use the events onUpdate and function Cell.protection=1
    It's been a while so they're probably wrong, but at least they'll point you in the right direction.
