Protection and outline

P

Paul

Hi,

I have a worksheet which I really need to protect.
However it also has a number of groupings on some rows.
Is there anyway in which I can protect the sheet but
still allow users to show and hide the detail in the
groupings?

Thanks for your help,

Paul

If you already have the outline applied, you can protect the worksheet in code
(auto_open/workbook_open??).

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
End Sub

It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (excel doesn't remember
it after closing the workbook.)
