I rechecked that. I put a break on the macro that the button calls and the
message comes up even before the macro begins to execute.

Check the location of that linked cell once more. And check to see if that

(Could be a typo in the address of that linkedcell????)

I have a Check Box on a sheet that I created from the Control ToolBox. I am
trying to protect the sheet but not these check boxes. I have set up a range
for the results of the checking that is unprotected. I also set up a
protection-free range for the area the checkboxes occupy and I have
specifically said to allow objects to be free from protection but when I have
protection on and click a check box, I get this:

"The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected and therefore
read-only." It goes on to tell me what to do. But I don't know what else to
do.
