Locked Cells with Data Validation Drop Down Lists

I have a Excel 200 spreadshhet with locked cells that have data validation
drop down lists. On my PC, I can change the selection to any choice on the
list and all works fine. However, on other computers (excel 2003) it gives
an error message that the cell is locked and cannot be changed. Is there a
setting or VBA code to fix this??

Thanks

Nope.

Excel's behavior has changed over the versions. If you want to be able to use
the file in xl2003, you'll have to format the cell so that it's not locked.

Thanks Dave
Unfortunately, it is not the answer I was wanted to see, but thanks for the
info. I will leave it unprotected.
