Comments in a shared Workbook acting strangely

I have a shared workbook shared across a LAN. Each person has their own sheet
to edit. I have to edit the sheet each time around by shifting data (and the
comments that go with it). I do this programatically. Regardless, every month
neither me or the other user can edit the comments that exist on the sheet.

I can select Edit comment, highlight all the data or put my cursor in the
old data anywhere, but cannot add/delete/edit the old data. I can tack new
information on just fine. I can delete the comment and create a new one that
is totally editable. has anyone experienced this and know what is happening
here? We are using Excel 2003. Thanks.
 
That's the way comments are designed to work in a shared workbook.
