I'm confused.

If the sheet was protected, then it was protected to allow you to use the
Outlining feature on that protected sheet.

If the sheet was not protected, then it didn't do anything special--because you
didn't need anything special done to the sheet.

Isn't that what you wanted?

Hi Dave, Yes, that is correct. The code is good, but should not
change whether the worksheets are protected or not when the file is
opened. I think you need to finish the code, right?

DaddyO, This code is necessary when outline (groups) are used because
what you say would normally work except with groups.

Thanks,

Michele
