Can't use tab after protecting sheet.

Hello
I have password protected a sheet in an Excel 2003 workbook. Now, I can't
use the TAB button to move to the next cell. The ENTER button and the arrow
buttons work.
Is there a way to get the TAB button working again?
Thanks

Hi

the TAB key will work if you have some "unprotected" cells - it will move
through them in turn to enable data entry. If your entire sheet is "locked"
and nothing can be changed on it, then AFAIK you can't enable the TAB key.
