I would say, from my testing yes. To be honest, I've always done that
unprotect, change, protect as these were not available pre XP.

Thanks Nick. I think I can workaround. I put ActiveSheet.Unprotect at the
top of the userform that controls the VBA. I just need to find a way to put
ActiveSheet.Protect in automatically when the userform exits. If you have
any ideas....

Thanks for your advise

How about the UserForm_Deactivate() event?

Private Sub UserForm_Deactivate()
ActiveSheet.Protect
End Sub

And my final dumb question - why does this subcommand not work. Presumably
it goes inside the userform?

Correct

Thinking about it you should reference the sheet explicitly as it may ne be
active

Worksheets("Sheet1").Protect

Thanks for all your help Nick.

I've got it more or less up and running in 2007 now, albiet with some of the
functionality missing - but good enough until Microsoft gets round to
sorting out the compatability issues - if they ever do.
