Default Using drop down lists on protected worksheet

The cell with the DV needs to be unlocked as well. You cannot change a value
in a cell without having access to change the cell contents, i.e: through a
list in DV.

When I protect the worksheet, unlocked cells can be accessed ok. But, the
drop down list boxes will not work.

Any way to correct this problem?
Thanks.
