Can't access cells
I have a problem I haven't seen or heard of before. The workbook I am working
with has cells in a single worksheet that I cannot access once the worksheet is protected. Here is what I have done. Unprotected the worksheet, unlocked the cells, made sure the hidden is not selected. I can access all the cells, modify data, etc like normal. Then, if I protect the worksheet, when I try to access unprotected cells, my active cell jumps to cell L10 and I can't enter any data into other cells. I have three other worksheets that are working fine. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you. |
Can't access cells
While Protecting your worksheet check "select unlocked cells" and give
password and give ok. If this post helps, Click Yes! -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "Billy B" wrote: I have a problem I haven't seen or heard of before.

Can't access cells
Thank you for your help. I had already done what you suggested and it didn't
work. Playing around, I found that the problem somehow involved merged cells. There were times when I couldn't access the cells and other times when the TAB key was pressed, it skipped over merged cells. So, I un-merged the cells, set the locked property to off on all the cells, merged them again and and the problem was solved. Hope this might help someone else.
