Default Cell Indicator Problem

I do not want the cell indicator to appear on my worksheet. The worksheet is
protected and all of the cells are locked. When I protect my sheet, the cell
indicator disappears. However, when I reopen my file, the cell indicator
appears on a locked and protected cell. I have tried to click on a cell
outside of the viewing area before protecting the sheet, but when I open the
file it goes to that cell. Is there a macro that will eliminate the cell
indicator? Is there anyway I can solve this problem? Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Default Cell Indicator Problem

The indicator is still showing on the screen. The sheet doesnt contain any
formulas. It contains data that the user will need to use on another sheet. I
dont want the user to accidently delete the data, therefore I protected the
sheet.

Hi,
If the cells are locked and the sheet's protected then the user can't
delete the data.

Hi,
that option appears in the protect sheet dialog in Excel 2003, so I
guess you must be using an earlier version.
