allow comments, unlocked cells, protected sheet
 
Excel 2003
I have a range of unlocked cells in a protected sheet(select unlocked cells
only is checked) in a protected workbook (protect structure only is checked)
that I would like to allow the user to insert comments into. Can anyone tell
me how to accomplish this?

When you protect the sheet, only protect contents, don't protect Objects.

Hi Tom

I'm stuggling with the same problem. Isn't there another way of doing this?
When I set DrawingObjects:=False then other objects (e.g. logo at the top of
the page) can be deleted.

Claude
