Hi Atul
Sorry, I should have mentioned earlier. I have not yet figured out a way to
get it to work with ver 2007.
By the way, I also realised that the Control Toolbox properties as mentioned
earlier does not work after I save and close the file. i.e., The
"EnableSelection" in the property settings works fine only as long as the
file is open. The file reverts back to its earlier properties once it is
closed and opened again.
To permanently save settings:
To create a simple macro that turns this setting on when the workbook is
opened, press *Alt-F11*to activate the Visual Basic Editor. Locate your
workbook name in the Project window, and double-click it to expand its
listing. Then double-click the item labeled ThisWorkbook and enter the
following VBA code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Sheet1").EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
End Sub

PS: Many Thanks to my friend Nikhil for showing me how to work this in one
of my excel files and explaining the workaround as mentioned above..
