Default Using Groups on Protected Sheets

In order make the UI a little cleaner on a spreadsheet with a lot of data, I
have added grouped columns and rows for the user to easily collapse the data
and re-expand. This sheet is also needs to be protected from data entry
except in the few cells that are unlocked.

If I turn on the sheet protection and click on a group to expand or
collapse, I get the error "You cannot us this command on a protected
sheet......" Does anyone know how I may be able to trap this event in VBA
and then write some code to determine the type of command that was tried?
If I could determine this, then I could selectively unprotect the sheet and
group or ungroup and then protect the sheet and return control to the user.

Thanks.
