You have answered my question - the linked cell was protected. Works fine now

I have taken my ComboBox issue to another level in my latest post on programmed ComboBoxes - I was creating a monster with a localized LinkedCell/ListFillRange. The way I was headed, I would have to change 396 worksheets, rather than 33, when the ComboBox parameters changed. If you have time, could you look at this thread

Thanks for you time and help
Phil
