Protect Autofiler Column
How can I Protect a Worksheet that has a autofilter column. I want users to
be able to use the drop down menu in the autofilter column to narrow the selections but I don't want users to have the ability to change anything on the spreadsheet. If I unlock the autofilter column and protect the sheet it doesn't activate the dropdown. Thanks, Mickey |

Protect Autofiler Column
Hi Mickey
In 2002 and up this is a option when you protect your sheet. ToolsProtection...Protect sheet check "Use AutoFilter" But first apply the filter before you protect the sheet -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Mickey" wrote in message ...

Which version of Excel? In 2002 and 2003 you can protect the worksheet with "Use Autofilter" checked on. You must have the autofilter already enabled before protecting the sheet.
