Autofilters not working when sheet is protected
Hello:
I was wondering if there is a way to make the autofilters work while the sheet is protected. Specifically I have created List of Values for certain column and want to limit the users choosing from them and not be able to change any other fields that are already typed in thus the protection. The List of values seems to work fine with the protection but the Autofilters are not working. Is there a way to make them function while keeping the worksheets protected? Please help. Thank you. Monika |

Autofilters not working when sheet is protected
Hello Ron:
Thank you for the reference. Just one more quick question when you are listing multiple worksheets in a workbook for the code do you know the proper way to include multiple ones? With Worksheets("CT", "MR") --- this comes out wrong so not sure what's the right way. I'd like the code to run on all of the worksheets in my workbook. "CT" and "MR" are two separate worksheets.... Thank you.
