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

The linked cell must also be unlocked.

ProtonLeah! If I had spent any more time trying to find the solution on my
own, they would've had to commit me! Thanks, again, and have a great weekend!
