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 -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

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.))
