Worksheet Protection
 

Is there a way to protect a worksheet so that data can't be changed or
deleted, but give the user freedom to format as they wish, i.e. hide columns,
etc.?

Different versions of excel enable you to have different levels of
protection... What version are you using?

xl2002 offered lots more options when protecting sheets.

Maybe you could provide macros that the users could run when they want to change
stuff.

Your macro could unprotect the sheet, do the formatting changes and then
reprotect the sheet.

Thank you. I think I'll wait until we upgrade to XL 2002! And who knows
when that'll be! Connie
