I have tried everyway I know how to fix this but no joy,
Can you help please:

I regularly send out Excel files to suppliers with embeded objects eg .PDF files in specific cells (Using this routine: Insert, Object, Create From File, Browse, Select File, Display As Icon, OK).
The problem is the icon for the embeded file is moveable.
This means someone could move the icon in the spreadsheet and confuse our suppliers. We use 1 icon for each reference and there can be many references in the spreadsheet.
So my question how can I lock the icon for the embeded file in a specific cell?
Many many thanks.
