You have a few options - One is to have a macro that un-locks the sheets,
updates and then re-locks the sheet whenever changes are made. Another option
is to only protect specific cells. You could also use a macro to setup an
edit mode that only allows you to change sheet B when changing inputs that
are linked from sheet A.

I have a 3 sheet excel file with protection on all 3 sheets (let's call
them A, B and C). These 3 pages have formulas that link to each other.
Sheet A has a few checkboxes that link to sheet C. The problem is that
when I try to check any of the check boxes on sheet A an error box pops
up that says "The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected
and therefore read only". Is there a way to protect a sheet while being
able to check a box off that is linked to another sheet? What protection
options would allow me to do this?

Thanks in advance.
Dave
