Unable to highlight an unprotected cell on a protected sheet.

[Del]

I need to use a protected worksheet but need to use the highlight icon/button
when filling in the unprotected cells, however have been unable to find a way
of doing this.

I am using excel 2000.

Any help with this problem would be greatly received.

Hello,

You need to unprotect the sheet before you can use the highlight icon.
