text is deleted when cell is edited
Hi,
Version: MS EXcel 2002 SP2 I have a worksheet, protected, (developed by someone else) which performs strangely when you edit cells. When you attempt to edit data previously entered in a cell (by pressing F2 or double clicking on the cell), the previous data entered in the cell is deleted. This happens with numbers and text. Any ideas why this happens? The worksheet and workbook are protected. The cells in question is obviously not locked. -- Your assistance is appreciated. Griffo |

Is there any event code behind the sheet working on it. Check by
right-clicking the sheet tab, select View Code from the menu and a code window will pop up . Anything there? -- HTH Bob Phillips "GRIFFO" wrote in message ...

Bob / Nick,
No code behind the sheet. Might it have something to do with the sheet properties? I have had a play with them but no sure what I am doing. Nick, if there is The cell has .Hidden=True and Locked=False, where can I change this as there appears to be no VBA code in the sheet. -- Your assistance is appreciated.

I have realised it has something to do with the protection of the worksheet.
The entry is not deleted and the cursor placed at the end of the entry when the worksheet is not protected. The only option I have allowed users to do is "Select unlocked cells". Should I set permissions to perform some other action such as Format Cells, Edit Objects or Edit Scenarios? I am not sure what these do but will trawl the help system for solutions. Any guidance is welcomed. -- Your assistance is appreciated. Griffo "NickHK" wrote: GRIFFO, The cell has .Hidden=True and Locked=False. Nick "GRIFFO" wrote in message ...

GRIFFO,
Did you read the Help on Locked, Hidden, Protection and how they interact ? NickHK "GRIFFO" wrote in message ... I have realised it has something to do with the protection of the worksheet.

Thanks Guys. It was the hidden option in the Format Cell Protection tab.
Removing the hidden option protection from the fields without formulas, then makes the text / numerical entry editable without losing the data. As monty burns says "Exxxxxcellllent". -- Your assistance is appreciated. Griffo "NickHK" wrote: GRIFFO, Did you read the Help on Locked, Hidden, Protection and how they interact ?
