why don't you just protect the cells/worksheets you don't want overwritten??

okay..
Well? I don't know of a property (there may be one) BUT Recently, I did something that could work.. The number of tabs in the workbook I was working on was getting rather large. So I made a user form. On that form I had a list of all the worksheets. When a user clicked on one it got the focus. You could use something like that and then hide the sheet on the deactivate event. maybe?? *** displaying the user form I did it modeless (non-modal) so the list of sheets is always on the screen and they can work around it.

sorry to put another dampener on you efforts but hiding a sheet is going to
mean the graphs that are linked to it won't display when the sheet is hidden. "TomHinkle" wrote: okay.. Well?

So don't hide the sheet. Just change the focus/activesheet.
