Default Pivot Table Use When Sheet is Protected

Is is possible to still let users click on the Field drop down box in a pivot
table when the sheet is protected. I want them to be able to pullin fields
that are already set up. But do not want them to be able to go to the Layout
Sheet and play around with the layout.

Thanks

If you're using Excel 2002, or later version, you can allow users to use
Pivot Table reports when you protect the worksheet.

There's sample code here that disables some of a pivot table's features:
