You have to unlock those linked cells.

Maybe you could put them in a column and hide the column--or even put them in a
different worksheet???

Hello,

I have a worksheet that contains a ton of checkboxes created using the Forms
toolbar not the Control Toolbox. I want to protect that worksheet so that
people can't do anything to the worksheet itself, including checking or
unchecking those checkboxes. There is a maco that goes through and
unprotects the worksheet, checks the appropriate boxes and then protects the
workbook again. The problem I have is that when I protect the worksheet I
can stop them from doing anything except checking the boxes. How do I stop
them from being able to check the boxes?

Thanks,
jordan
