UserInterfaceOnly & Password Protection
 

Hello. I am reposting my question, asking it a different way. Is there a
way to use the UserInterfaceOnly in conjunction "with" a password? Such that
the user of the workbook cannot go to ToolsProtectionUnprotect Sheet and
start manipulating my work. Thank you.

Kind regards,

D.Parker

D, something like this, but worksheet passwords are very easy to break

Worksheets("sheet1").Protect password:="test", userInterfaceOnly:=True

Ahhhh. I get the question now...

Just to add to Paul's response:

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=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--hence the Auto_open procedure (or workbook_open
in the ThisWorkbook module.))

Quick question on this one - how do you break this kind of protection on a
workbook?

Ask the developer for the password is one way.
