Bob,

Thanks for your response; I think I need to better explain the situation. I
have a protected excel file posted to a SharePoint server and I want to make
sure that the users will be able to use the autofilters without having to
unprotect the file. So my idea was to write a macro that will execute on
openning of te file to enable the use of AutoFilters onn a protected sheeet.

Thanks again

This property returns True if the drop-down arrows are currently displayed.
You can set this property to False to remove the arrows, but you cannot set
it to True. Use the AutoFilter method to filter a list and display the
drop-down arrows.
