I used the code you posted but i get a Run-time error 9 - subscript out of
range error.

how do i fix this?

Also, my groups are set up in sheet 6 of my workbook, does that change
anything?

If you protect the worksheet programmatically, you can enable outlining,
and you will be able to use the groups that you have created.

The following code goes in the ThisWorkbook module:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.EnableOutlining = True
.Protect Password:="password", _
Contents:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End With
End Sub

To paste the code into the ThisWorkbook module:

Right-click on the Excel icon, to the left of the File menu
Choose View Code
Paste the code where the cursor is flashing.

1 -I have grouped data in my excel sheet by using the Group rows function.
2- When i protect the sheet, the goup and Ungroup button (the + sign at the
left of the sheet), won't work.

Question:
Is there a way to proctect the sheet and keep the Group and ungroup (+
sign)function normally.

Thank you

You have to change Sheet1 to the name of the sheet you're using:

With Worksheets("Sheet1")

Remember to change the password to the actual password, too.
