It appears on additional testing that the problem has something to do with
being linked to a "password to open" protected workbook. If I break the
links off the worksheet that is not password protected to open, then the menu
items in the formula auditing toolbar become enabled. I still need to
protect the data in the other file, so still need a solution. By the way, if
the password to open file is open the items on the formula auditing toolbar
are still disabled.

Thoughts?

Help?
