resizing sheet

(OP)
Alright I feel really dumb, but I just can't figure this one out.  I spent several days building a very helpful spreadsheet, then I password protected it.  Then I covered the entire sheet in a transparent chart so you can only axcess the input fields.  Now I'm sure no one can bungle up my sheet.  Great.  Close it down and save it.  I come back this morning and when I open it up it doesn't fill the screen.  No problem but the little boxes that are at the top of every other windows window are missing.  The ones that let you minimize, maximize and close.  I also can't click on the edge of the window to resize it.  Saving it as a different name doesn't work.  All my other programs and spreadsheets function fine.  Please help!

RE: resizing sheet

It sounds like it is in Full Screen Mode.  Try hitting F11.

Good thought but that wasn't it.  The regular excell window is still the way it should be it is only the worksheet that I can't maximize.

RE: resizing sheet

an alternative:

place all input data on a worksheet.

perform analysis, calcs, etc. on another sheet.

then hide the analysis, calcs sheet from the vba properties box (done via vba editor).

protect workbook.  make certain that input data cells are established for data input (not protected).

RE: resizing sheet

Looks like you ticked the windows protect option when setting up the workbook protect function. Just protect structure.
