Protecting Controls in a worksheet
 
Hi All,
I have placed Checkbox controls in a spreadsheet and would like to protect
it. When I protect the workbook, I can only use some Checkboxes and not all.
Some Checkboxes give me an error that the "..Cell or Chart is protected..and
hence Read-Only..". i have tried may combinations to get the desired results
but have not succeeded. I require you help as I am in Dire Straits.
Thanks in advance.

If you've linked the check box to a cell make sure the cell is unlocked.
