I am using XL 2000. The sheet I have requires the AutoFilter function,
however I also wish to protect it. When I do protect it, the AutoFilter does
not work. Is there any way around this. I know if I was using XP there is
an option to protect the worksheet but leave the AutoFiler functioning, but I
can not find that option on the XL 2000 version I am using. Please HELP!!!

If you already have the outline/subtotals/autofilter applied, you can protect
the worksheet in code (auto_open/workbook_open??).

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True
'.EnableOutlining = True
.EnableAutoFilter = 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.)

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
