Nigel,

I am not sure I quite get the problem, but I added a couple of option
buttons that protect and unprotect fine.

Am I missing a step perhaps?

Hi All
I have an application that uses an unprotect / protect process before a
user
wish to make changes.

I have a number of control buttons on the sheet (not userform) that when
clicked, intiate an unprotect - sheet(s) update - protect process. This
works OK.

I have now added some option buttons, which uses the clcik event to
intiatie
the same process, however now I get an error arising form the unprotect
process. It appears that the unprotect fails due to the control button
being
active (having clicked it). The control buttons have the
TakeFocusOnClick
set to false, but there does not appear to be a similar option for
OptionButtons?
