Default Can't get userinterface variant to work on mac.

I have a several cells on a worksheet form that I want the user to be able to
double click and have the cell toggle back and forth between "Yes" and "No".
I used a before double click event on the worksheet to call a macro (in
module 1) that determines if one of the target cells has been double clicked.

Tried using the protect method with the UserinterfaceOnly variant and I get
the following error message:


"Runtime error 1004
The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected.... " When i hit debug
it goes to the line in the macro that changes the value of the cell to either
"Yes" or "No".

Following are 2 ways i tried to protect the sheet:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:= _
"pass", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End Sub


I also tried the following version in the macro that is triggered by double
clicking on the target cell:

Public Sub ChooseYesNo(Trng As Range)

Dim YNrng As Range
Dim YNrngb As Range
Set YNrng = Range("FormCompleted")
Set YNrngb = Range("WklyHrsSigned")

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:= _
"pass", UserInterfaceOnly:=True

If Not Intersect(Trng, YNrng) Is Nothing Then
If YNrng = UCase("NO") Or YNrngb = UCase("Yes") Then

' following is the line that the macro gets stuck on

YNrng.Value = UCase("yes")

Range("FormCompletedLabel").Select
Else
YNrng.Value = UCase("no")
End If
Else
If Not Intersect(Trng, YNrngb) Is Nothing Then
If YNrngb = UCase("NO") Then
YNrngb.Value = UCase("yes")
YNrng.Value = UCase("yes")
Else
YNrngb.Value = UCase("no")
End If
End If
End If

Set YNrng = Nothing
Set YNrngb = Nothing

End Sub


Both these attempts do protect the sheet - but give me the error message
when I double click the target cells.

The yesno toggling macro works fine with protection off.

Anybody have a suggestion?
Thanks
Richard
