Default Protect an Excel WorkSheet from being deleted

In your code, you'll have to check the configuration, unprotect the workbook,
delete the sheet, reprotect the workbook.

Have you thought about protecting the workbook, then giving the user a macro
that would delete any sheet except for the one(s) you don't want deleted??


Thanks, Dave,


I already have two hidden sheets. I also have a VBA routine behind a Delete
Button that allows the user to delete a sheet, except if the sheet is named
Options or Date and as long as the sheet desired to delete is not the only
visible sheet. I did not know I could protect the workbook and still allow
sheets to be deleted.

I will try your suggestion in my code tomorrow. Thanks again.
