It is dimmed out if the workbook is shared (but then you shouldn't be able
to change protection).

I have the toolbar out and watch it as I enter the password to unprotect
the
sheet. It seems like it should light up at that point, but nothing
happens.
Is there anything else that it could be?

I am trying to create a command button in one my excel spreadsheets
and I
can't insert the button for some reason. I am able to in other files,
but
for some reason, when I view the Forms toolbar, none of the options
light
up...they all remain dim. I had been playing around with different
types
of
protection with this file, but they are all off now. Any ideas on
what
could
be making this spreadsheet different from my others or what I could be
doing
wrong?
