I have a workbook and worksheet that are protected and when I right click on a cell that doesn't have a before_right_click macro attached to it unprotects the worksheet. Am I missing something or is this the way 2002 works? I checked to make sure that the cell was locked and protected before I right clicked and when I did right click the dropdown list came down and gave me full editing capability and when I left clicked it after that I had full view of a once hidden cell.
