Is there any way that I can password protect a worksheet
yet still allow users to use the data grouping that I have
set up. My spreadsheets are set up to view monthly and
quarterly information for 3 years. When a user wants to
view only the quarterly information and the worksheet is
protected, the data grouping won't work. I also wanted
them for printing purposes so that the user had a choice
of printing all months or just quarterly views.

Thanks

Allison
