I have a five-tab spreadsheet/workbook on which all data entry takes =
place on tab 1, other tabs contain look-up tables, instructions, etc and =
the final tab is the data storage area.

Each tab/sheet is protected with only the data entry cells unlocked.

Only the first tab/sheet has unlocked data entry cells.

The data storage area sheet has hidden rows and the entire sheet is =
locked and protected.

This sheet is sent out to several VPs for data entry. When one of them =
came back, one of the cells in the data storage area had mysteriously =
lost it's cell reference to the data entry page and sported a #REF.

I rechecked the original workbook that was sent out and it does not have =
this problem.

From where did this come?

It happens when a cell, row, column is deleted in your tab1.

it has to be identified,

Programmer, who wrote your program may find.

or send both the files, I will do it for you.

Please rate me.
