When the sheet is protected the hyperlink button in the "standard" commandbar (1) greys out.

I wish to make this available when the sheet is protected.

I am having difficulty understanding the syntax even when I read Office unleashed.

Can anyone help with a one liner that will unprotect the hyperlink button when in protect mode.

Thanks.

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
This is by design, you can't do quite a number of things when the sheet is protected and, unfortunately in your case, Editing or Inserting hyperlinks is one of them.

Can I at least create a toolbar "my bar" which would do what the hyperlink pop up would.

Unleashed implies you can create your own but I am unsure of the method.

You can create a toolbar, but the Hyperlink button wouldn't work when the sheet is protected, unfortunately. About the best you could do would be to have a button that unprotects the sheet first, but you might as well just do that from the Excel menu-bar, really.
