Excel - Un-protect Textbox / Protect sheet

Expert: Aidan Heritage - 10/28/2008

Question
I got many textbox in my worksheet and i need to entry some text in it. To facilitates the process, i need to un-protect my sheet to do it. By unprotect the sheet, i got the risk to have some cells modified .

I need to un-protect only my textbox or have a system to protect my sheet automatically when textbox(s) is no in use.

Excuse my English, I'm more fluent in French.

Answer
I'm slightly puzzled in that any textboxes I would enter on the sheet WOULD be open to data entry without unprotecting the sheet - which version of Excel are you using, and what form of textboxes are you referring to? If it helps to mail me a sample file you can get me at aidan.heritage@virgin.net

My french isn't what it should be considering my mother lives in the Alliers region of France!
