Hi,

If you protect the sheet in code with a line like

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="x", userinterfaceonly:=True

Then there is no need to unprotect and reprotect within the macro.

You can run this as a standalone macro or incorporate it into a
Workbook_Open routine.

i have a macro designed to allow a user to delete a row in a protected
worksheet.
In the message box, i'd like to prompt the user as follows:
"Are you sure you want to delete row x?" with X being the row number of
where the cursor is currently sitting.
thanks in advance,
tami
