If you do:

Tools|protection|protect sheet
You should see an option for "edit objects"
(I don't recall the wording for xl97, but if you allow users to edit objects,
then they can add/modify/delete comments--as well as other objects
(shapes/controls).)

I know you can do this on XP but is there anyway of protecting a sheet or
book but still allow users to add cell comments with Excel 97? Many thanks.
