Default combo box problem in Excel

Hi!

The cellink is locked. If I unlock the celllink, it works well, but that
cell must be locked.


Well, that's how it works. If you're concerned about tampering hide the
linked cell.

Put it "under" the combo box. Out of sight, out of mind.

I have a program in Excel 2000. It works well. Recently I upgraded to
Excel
2003 then the combo box does not work well any more. The problem is when
I
click on the down arrow to select a name in combo box, it just works for
the
first time, the second time it shows the error message like this:

"The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected ad 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".

The cellink is locked. If I unlock the celllink, it works well, but that
cell must be locked.

Please let me know as soon as possible by reply to my email:


Thank you.
