Using Grouped Rows in Protected Worksheet
I'd like to protect a spreadsheet that we are using so that other users can
view only. There is some grouping of rows in the sheet which I'd like other users to be able to switch between for different levels of detail. However, when I protect the sheet excel will not allow the grouping to change. (I have tried to protect only the relevant cells but still the same.) Thanks for you help! apr |

Using Grouped Rows in Protected Worksheet
If you already have the outline/subtotals/autofilter 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 '.EnableAutoFilter = True 'If .FilterMode Then ' .ShowAllData 'End If End With End Sub It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (Earlier versions of excel don't remember it after closing the workbook. IIRC, xl2002+ will remember the allow autofilter setting under tools|Protection|protect sheet, but that won't help when you're filtering via code.) apr wrote: I'd like to protect a spreadsheet that we are using so that other users can view only.

Using Grouped Rows in Protected Worksheet
Thanks Dave,
Looks a bit complicated for our purposes if we need to re-do it when we open the workbook each time. Might have to have a re-think.

Using Grouped Rows in Protected Worksheet
By putting the code in a General module and naming the subroutine Auto_Open,
it'll run each time excel opens the workbook (if the user allows macros to run). apr wrote: Thanks Dave, Looks a bit complicated for our purposes if we need to re-do it when we open the workbook each time.
