Unfortunately in Excel 2007, which I assume you are talking about, chart
tooltips are not displayed if the chart is protected (ie objects or
chart-sheet) as they were in earlier versions. They have been restored in
Excel 2010,

Hola,
I have an embedded chart within a protected worksheet. I want the user to
be
able to point and select a specific value within the chart but need to
prevent her to "accidentaly" delete the entire chart.
If I protect the chart, then it becomes read-only and the user cannot
"see"
the values on the chart. If I unprotect the chart, then the user can "see"
the values but then she can accidentaly delete the chart.
Any ideas to accomplish these?
Regards,
OMER
