Default Can't Get Objects To Work In A Protected Worksheet

I inserted a couple of checkbox objects (from the Form toolbar) in a
worksheet and would like for them to be accessable by other users when the
worksheet is protected. When I right-click the object and select Format
Control, then the Protection tab, I make sure Locked and Locked Text are
unchecked before protecting the worksheet. Unfortunately, when a user
attempts to click on the checkbox (within the protected worksheet), they are
greeted by the following pop-up message: "The cell or chart you are trying to
change is protected and therefore read-only. To modify a protected cell or
chart, first remove protection by using the Unprotect Sheet command (Tools
menu, Protection submenu). You may be prompted for a password."

I have unsuccessfuly Googled this dilemma and hope somebody will be able to
help me.

Thank you, in advance, for any help you are able to provide.

Regards,
OMMBoy
