Updating of a locked cell
 

I have a worksheet protected because it is all formulas for calculations with
other worksheets within the workbook. When I change one of the unprotected
cells of a worksheet, I want the formual cell to "update". It will if it is
not protected but the cell is locked and protected. How do I keep others
from editing the formula if I can not have the cell locked/protected?

Excel should reevaluate the cell with the formula -- as long as you changed
something that the formula cell depends on.

Well, unless you're in manual calculation mode. And that sounds like it might
be true.

In xl2003 menus:
Tools|options|Calculation tab|check automatic

It's hidden under Excel Option under that office button somewhere in xl2007.
