I am having a problem with an Excel 2013 application I have been using for months. It started on my desktop after what I believe was the last Excel update. That update also caused my activex controls to stop functioning. (I found that deleting the .exd files solved that problem, but shortly thereafter I began having this latest issue. Now when I activate an activex combo box (with list fill range from another open workbook - not sure that matters at all) the combo box works fine. It fills with the list, I make my choices and everything is fine, EXCEPT after making that selection all the cells that were unprotected now act as if they are protected. I cannot enter anything UNTIL I run a macro then the unprotected cells work again. This happened on my desktop first. Up until today, I could copy that same file to my laptop with the same version of Excel and everything worked fine on the laptop. That is until today. This morning when I shut down my laptop, Windows (8.1) wanted to install an update. After it installed, I thought I would check to see if my excel app would still work. It does not - same issue as the laptop. Anyone else have a similar issue or know the fix? I'm desperate to get this app working again.
