Protected columns: cannot delete or edit

One or more columns are protected. If possible, change the attributes of this column.

Causes / Solutions

You tried to edit a protected cell or column. There can be two reasons:

• The column is a system column and cannot be edited.
  • In a Multi-currency accounting file you are trying to manually enter the opening balance in the Opening in basic currency column. This value however is automatically calculated by the program.
    Enter the opening balance in the Opening currency column.
• The column was protected by the user.
  Change the column settings in the Columns setup command.
