Hi All, I have an Excel file that I will use as a form which needs to be signed, preferably using the "draw" feature in Excel. I see that in a new Excel workbook with the worksheets unlocked, the Draw tab items are active. However, in the file I am working, the sheets are protected and when the sheet is locked, the Draw tab items become disabled. I added code to unprotect the sheets when the cells I want to be the signature field are selected, and the worksheet indeed becomes unlocked. However, the items in the Draw tab are still not active.
...any idea how I can make this work?

Hi all, I managed to stumble on the solution. Change the page layout to Normal, and it works.
