protecting sheet blocking comment creation
 

Hello Everyone, I'm set to release a budget sheet across my district,
however, I've stumbled into a little last minute problem.

I have to lock certain cells on this work sheet. Mostly the ones that
have the formulas that work out the budget variances. However, a big
part of this sheet is the use of comments (used to explain budget
variances). When I protect the sheet, I can no longer add comments.

Is there anyway to fix this?

THANKS A TON

-Amadis

Amadis, depends on what version you are using, when you go to protect the
sheet under allow all users of this worksheet to: check edit objects
