Hola Andy.
The workbook I'm talking about is being used by many other users.
To maintain integrity, they are not allow to unprotect the worksheet.
Any other suggestions?
Regards,

Hola,

I'm using Excel 2007.
I have an Inserted Table (not a pivot table) on a worksheet and have
autofilter on.
I protected some formulas on the table and then protected the worksheet with
the following command:

ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, contents:=True, Scenarios:= _
True, AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _
AllowFormattingRows:=True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True, _
AllowUsingPivotTables:=True, userInterfaceOnly:=True,
Password:="password1"

The problem is that everytime I need to sort a column I get the following
message:

"The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected and therefore
read-only. Unprotect the worksheet by going to ........"

As you can imaging, this is not acceptable, since the whole purpose is to
protect the formulas being seen/changed by the user.

Any suggestions?
