Question about protecting charts
I have a spiffy drop-down (with the box and arrow) that, when different
selections are chosen, modifies a chart to display different values. I cannot find a way to lock (and protect) the drop-down (so it can't be moved) and the chart (so that people - including myself - can't mess with the source data and such), but still be able to use the drop-down and watch the chart change to the new values. I know this is possible, as I have a worksheet that does it, but I can't for the life of me remember what I did. Thanks for any help |

Question about protecting charts
Ha, I found the problem. It was being angry with me because one of my hidden
data charts had a locked cell that needed to be unlocked at all times. Unlocking it fixed it. It's always the silly little problem that is the hardest to find... and takes about five hours to find, too. "Jon Peltier" wrote: See if this page helps.
