Protection permissions
I have a worksheet that I have password protected but want to allow users to
delete rows. The 'delete rows' box is checked when protected but will not allow users to delete. Any suggestions? |

"Microsoft has added password protection capability to many features in Office to help prevent unauthorized access to important information." In other words it works on trying to open a file. It has nothing to do with what may be done to the file once it is open. For that you need to look elsewhere. Bill R |

Protection permissions
If ANY cell in the row to delete is locked, you cannot delete the row even
after "allowing" row deletion. If that meets your situation you must code to unprotect, delete then re-protect. ActiveSheet.Unprotect Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp ActiveSheet.Protect AllowDeletingRows:=True Of course you must add any other functions you want allowed when re-protecting.

Have a look at Excel help under workbook and worksheet protection. There are several types of protection.........only one of which is "file open" protection that you refer to.
