Default Dropdown list in a locked cell

Perfect Gord, thank you!

Uncheck "select locked cells" so users cannot select that locked cell.

When a cell, with a dropdown list in it, is locked, why does it let you
select the down arrow and make a selection only to then tell you that the
cell is locked?

Is there a way to lock the cell with the dropdown in it and not let you
click down and make a selection? My validation list is complicated and I'd
rather not put it into code.

Thanks in advance.
