Sheet protection causes cells to be linked

P

pedz

I'm using Excel 2000 and I've got a sheet which I want to protect, so
can lock the non-input cells. I've also got a button on the shee
which runs a macro.
When I protect the sheet, all cells look as they are hyperlinked, o
macro-linked (I get the hand pointer). If I click on the cell, it the
goes off to do something (looks like a call to a macro - which ISN'T th
one on the sheet!).
If I use freeze pane, it's only the cells above the pane marker whic
operate this way - the ones below the pane operate normally!
Finally - if I open the sheet in Excel 2003 - all the cells operat
normally!
Has anyone come across this before - is it a known bug in 2000 - ho
can I get round it
