    Can I protect activex-objects?

    When I protect workbook, activex-objects (commandbuttons, textboxes etc.) can still be selected. I have a tab on "Locked" in object-properties but it doesn't help. How can I protect these objects that they cannot be selected?

    Hello Crüe,

    If you can not select an ActiveX object then it becomes form without function. You have to be able to select the object before it can perform an action. Did mean prevent it from being deleted?

    Yeah, I try to prevent it from other users, so that they cannot delete it neither select. They can select these objects only when workbook is Unprotected, but when its protected, they shouldn't be able to select nor delete anything.
