It is my intention to disable users from selecting any cells on
worksheet that I have just created in a workbook using EXCEL 2002. New
to VB, I rely greatly on recording macros then cut/paste. In this case
I did a Ctl+A to select all cells, then FormatCells - Protection,
checked Locked & Hidden and then "OK". Then I went to
ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet. With the exception of "Protect
worksheet and contents of locked cells" all boxes were unchecked when I
hit "OK". The following code was generated:

Cells.Select
Range("C3").Activate
Selection.Locked = True
Selection.FormulaHidden = True
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True
Cells.Select
Range("C3").Activate

If I then unprotect the worksheet and run the macro, as intended, all
cells are not selectable.

The problem I have is that if the workbook is closed and reopened,
cells are once again selectable and can be copied. Is there a
programmable solution for retaining the protection as implemented?

Thanks,
GCF
