Embedded Chart protection

O

OMER

Hello,

Using Excel 2007, is there a way to enable a user to be able to point and
select an embedded chart (for the purpose of identifying an specific point in
a chart) but to prevent the user to "accidentaly" delete the chart?
Today I'm able to protect the chart by enabling protection the worksheet
objects, but the user can´t do anythig with the chart.
Any ideas are welcomed.

Regards,
OMER

Unfortunately I don't believe there's any way to do that. In Excel 2003 and
earlier it wasn't an issue, tooltips are shown even in a protected chart,
but not in Excel 2007. Looks like they'll be reinstated in Excel 2010.

Regards,
Peter T
