Unprotect a textbox in a protected worksheet
Is there a way to add an unprotected textbox to a protected document? I have
a worksheet in which I wish to protect several cells. But, on the same worksheet, I have several textboxes I have entered in unprotected cells that I'd like to remain unprotected so that other users can enter text. But, when I reprotect the document after adding the textboxes, the textboxes are non-functional (i.e. they can not be clicked in to enter text). There is no error message (that the textbox is read-only) like that seen when clicking in a protected cell. The textboxes just can not be entered. |
