I don't think you're doing anything wrong, but it sounds as if the worksheet
is protected. From the menu click TOOLS, select PROTECTION and if the
cascade menu has an UNPROTECT option, the worksheet has protection assigned.
Click UNPROTECT to remove protection. If the worksheet has been protected
with a password you'll need to know the password too.
