I'm using Excel 2003. I have locked all of the cells in a worksheet except
for 2. Each of the two unlocked cells contain a hyperlink. I then protected
the worksheet and content of locked cells with none of the checkboxes
selected. I do not want the reader of my document to be able to do anything
more than read and click on the two hyperlinks.

Problem:
I've done this in two separate documents (trying to find a solution, but I
failed).

In the first document, the hyperlinks in the two unlocked cells are not
clickable, even though I have them unlocked.

In the second document, when you click on any of the cells (including the
locked/protected cells), it takes you to one of the hyperlinks that are found
in the two unlocked cells. It is seemling random which one of the two you
will be taken to, but once you click and are taken to one of the two
hyperlinks, that choice seems to be persistent while you have the document
open. It may choose the other link after you close and open the document and
try linking again.

The two documents are very similar. I copied the first to create the second
after discovering the problem.

It does not seem to make a difference if I use a password with the
protection or not.

Question:
How do I setup the document to protect all of the cells except for the two
cells with hyperlinks and have the hyperlinks actually work after the
worksheet is protected?
