Cell protection and changing links
 

When I protect a worksheet, users are no longer able to update or change
links on that sheet, even if the only locked cells do not have links in the
formulas. How can I protect cells that have calculations in them and still
allow users to update and change linked files? Thanks!

Cell protection and changing links
 

If you're going to use Edit|Links to update the links (or change the links), I
think you'll have to unprotect the worksheets in the workbook first.

But the users can still update the value in a cell with a link by editing the
formula:
Select the cell
F2 followed by enter
(will be sufficient)
