Kellykr , that is since you have shapes on the top of cells with the comments. If you remove them / move on another place, comments will be visible in protected sheet. Actually don't know how to fix with shapes, if only unlock them - but when users will be able to edit/remove shapes.
If you try with other alternatives, like formatted numbers within the cells - that works. If it will be something in mind with shapes I'll let you know, right know has no solution.

Kellykr , so far so good, you are welcome

Thanks again!!
