Default list protection

I've checked the box is ticked and it is.
If I lock the cell I can't pick from the drop down list.
If I unprotect I can either choose from the list or write directly in the
cell.

Make sure you stop invalid data on the Data|Validation|Error alert tab.

I created the dropdown by Data/Validation
The list is on a separate sheet.

Use data|Validation instead?

How did you create the dropdown?

I have drop down lists in various cells. I want to protect the cell so that
users can select from the list but not type directly into the cell. How do I
do this?

Thankyou
