selection is grayed out on a shared doc
Please Help!
I created a document, selected ProtectionProtect Sheet, then made it a shared document. My problem is now the “Unprotect Sheet” selection is grayed out and I need to make some changes. I am also unable to unshare the sheet. I would appreciate any info on the issue. Thanks in advance, Adam --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Go to Tools - Share Workbook and uncheck the "Allow changes..." checkbox. That should re-enable Unprotect. -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com "abailey " wrote in message ... Please Help!

Thanks for the reply, but I tried that and it didn't work. The doc
still remained in shared mode and I was unable to unprotect the doc. -Adam --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Odd. It worked for me in XL2000. I get a message about my change history being erased. I click yes and the workbook is back to exclusive use. Do you get a message when you try to "unshare" it? What version are you using? -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com "abailey " wrote in message ... Thanks for the reply, but I tried that and it didn't work.
