I want to be able to drag a text box around a protected sheet but not allow
the text box to be cut.

I'm not sure you can do that.

But maybe you could have a macro that asked where to put the textbox, and do the
movement in the macro.

Thanks Dave,
The protected sheet did not allow execution of macros.
It is a golf scoring program. I placed a commented cell in each players info
, formated the comment to show hole parameters and positioned the comment
just above the players gross scores and locked the comment. Show and Hide
comment allow for selecetive display of each comment.

Did your macro unprotect the worksheet, move the textbox, then reprotect the
worksheet?

Thanks again Dave,
No I did not go thru the unprotect /protect process in the macro.
I think I will stick with the comment soloution, unless it does not work out
with other users of the program.
I do not want users to get to lost.

Dave,
When I finally remembered "Split Screen" it solved all my problems,

I don't like Split screen, but I use Window|freeze Panes all the time.

You may like that you can't scroll in that frozen area, too.
