[Ctrl]+[PgDn] and [Ctrl]+[PgUp]

[Harlan Grove]

I've involuntarily upgraded to Excel 2002/XP. It has lots of lovely
security settings when protecting worksheets. When I _UN_check 'Select
locked cells' when protecting worksheets, the [Ctrl]+[PgDn] and
[Ctrl]+[PgUp] key combinations then function no differently than
[Alt]+[PgDn] and [Alt]+[PgUp] (so the same as they did back in Excel 4
and prior), paging right and left within the protected worksheet rather
than moving between worksheets.

If this isn't a bug, I don't know the meaning of the term. Has anyone
else come across it? There's no mention of it when searching *excel*
newsgroups in Google Groups for Ctrl and PgDn or Page Down or searching
in Microsoft's KB under Excel 2002 for these terms.

Hi Harlan

Same in 2003
Never notice it because I never use this option when I protect a sheet

If you do it with code it is also the same

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim Sh As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Sh.Select
Sh.Protect userinterfaceonly:=True
Sh.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
Next
Sheets(1).Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
