Group and ungroup protected sheets
I need help with grouping and ungrouping protected sheets. I have 3 sheets
in a workbook that must be protected. With protection on I can't use the group and ungroup function. Is there a solution for this ? If anyone could help that would be great. -- Regards Bob. |

Do you mean grouping as in Data|Group (outlining) or grouping worksheets (click
on one worksheet tab, then ctrl-click on subsequent tabs)??? If you meant the Data|Group (or even Data|Subtotals).... If you already have the outline applied, you can protect the worksheet in code (auto_open/workbook_open??). Option Explicit Sub auto_open() With Worksheets("sheet1") .Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True .EnableOutlining = True End With End Sub It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (excel doesn't remember it after closing the workbook.) If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm bob wrote: I need help with grouping and ungrouping protected sheets.
