SaveAs Method and sheet protection
 

If I us the SaveAs Method from within and Excell 97 macro should the
sheet protection status follow be maintained in the saved file? I get
the impression from the help file that it should but tests don't bear
that out.

SaveAs Method and sheet protection
 

Using the following code, my tests showed that protection followed.

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\temp\test.xls", FileFormat _
:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="",
ReadOnlyRecommended:= _
False, CreateBackup:=False

However, you can always add protection through code using:

ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
