Drawing on Protected Sheet
I have a sheet setup that has 50% of the cells locked.
I need to be able to allow the user to draw arrows over the cells that are not locked. Basically the Right side of the sheet is for adding comments. So I need to be able to draw on it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA Robert |

If using Excel 2002 or newer version you can checkmark "edit objects" when you protect the sheet. Earlier versions will probably require you to unprotect, do the drawing, then re-protect.

This works in XL97 as well, but allows one to draw on any part of the
sheet, even the protected areas....... Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...
