You could use the sheet activate event to disable the buttons or hide them
(check the protection status of the sheet)


You could have each button's macro check the state of the sheet and jump out
without doing anything if it is protected.

If you need more help, specify where the buttons are from; control toolbox
toolbar or forms toolbar.

Hi:

I have a spreadsheet containing buttons which activate macros. I want to
protect one
sheet in the workbook so that no one can write on it, and no one can
activate the buttons
without a password. When I protect sheet, I find that while the cells are
protected the
button can be activated.

Can someone tell me how to set the BUTTONS so that they cant be pressed
and activate the
macros.

Thanks a lot
