I have a worksheet that has several example problems. The worksheet has
hundreds of rows of text and text boxes. I have created a combobox to link to
different example problems in the worksheet (because of the many rows). At
the end of each example problem I have a link that takes the user back to the
top of the worksheet. When the user clicks "^top" the combobox is deleted and
a new combobox is formed with the first example problem listed in the box
(which is viewed when the worksheet is loaded). When I protect the worksheet
the macro for deleting the combobox will not run and causes an error. I then
protected my worksheet with "Edit Objects" checked on the protection menu.
However, when I do this, all of my text boxes are able to be edited. I dont
want this. So is there anyway that I can protect everything on the sheet but
allow my program to delete the combobox? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!
