This article was previously published under Q156987 SYMPTOMS
When you protect a worksheet, Microsoft Excel continues to allow you to
select calculation options that affect formulas in the worksheet, such as
"Precision as displayed," "Accept labels in formulas" (in Microsoft Excel
97), and "1904 date system." When you change these options, Microsoft
Excel updates the formulas even though the worksheet is protected.
