I have a spreadsheet which is used as a template throughout the organization
for travel expenses and reimbursements. Recently I upgraded from MS Office
2000 to MS Office 2003 and now the form does not work as it used to.

On the spreadsheet there is a cell which you can click on to choose from a
list of descriptions. However, when I click on the cell in Excel 2003 and
attempt to choose any of the descriptions listed I get a message saying "The
cell or chart you are trying to change is protected and therefore read-only.
To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the
unprotect sheet command (Tools menu, Protection submenu). You may be prompted
for a password."

A user is supposed to choose one of the preconfigured descriptions and not
be able to change or edit that information. This same worksheet works well in
Exel 2000. I used a laptop which was not converted as yet to open the
spreadsheet to make sure it was not corrupted or changed and it works the way
it is intended to.

Does anyone know what I can do in Excel 2003 to have the same functionality
as in Excel 2000?

Thanks
Robert
