I have a list/table of names. The user selects a cell to update a chart display for that person. Works great... but
How can you protect the cell from the user inadvertently changing the value in that cell? If he can select it, he can nuke it. I don't want STEVE JOHNSON turning into STEVE JOHNSONX or ...
