Sheets' Protection Question

N

News Reader

I have a workbook with six sheets. Two of the sheets are very similar
in appearance and function. I've protected both of these sheets with
the same password but get different results when I test them.

On sheet 2, if I try to enter a value for a cell, I get a pop-up box
with the message 'The cell or chart you are trying to change is
protected...', which is what I expect. On sheet 1, if I try to enter
a value for a call, it takes it without any problem. Going to Tools,
Protection, gives an option to Unprotect Sheet.

Any ideas why one sheet would work fine and the other not?

Thanks for any help.

Individual cells have their own locked/unlocked options that have no effect
until the sheet itself is protected.
