Hi,
        I am sure someone has tried to do this before using HSSF API's... 
however I would like to know if it was a success. 

Issue Description: I have a multi-tab workbook, which I generate using 
POI. For one of those worksheets in this workbook, I need to 
protect 
1.The data that I generate in the 2nd column (all rows). 
2.The data that I generate on the 5th Row (across 50 columns).

When I say protect, I mean once the sheet is created, no one should be 
able to "change" the data in those protected cells. I am referring to the 
following feature of MS-Excel [ Tools -> Protection ->Allow Users to Edit 
Ranges...]

Pls. Let me know if this is possible. If not, what is an alternative. I 
have tried to use xls template (copying from existing workbook) to 
generate my workbooks.. but that won't help me in this situation since the 
data generated in those protected cells will be at runtime.

Thanks & Regards,
Sumit Machwe
