autofilter and worksheet protection
for some reason, excel gives me the following error when i try to execute an autofilter command on a protected worksheet: run-time error '1004': you cannot use this command on a protected sheet. etc. etc. even though i set "allow all users of this worksheet to: use autofilter" in the options dialog. what's wrong? -- dreamz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreamz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26462 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535565 |

Hi dreamz
Before you protect the sheet turn on AutoFilter See also http://www.contextures.com/xlautofilter03.html#Protect -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "dreamz" wrote in message ... for some reason, excel gives me the following error when i try to execute an autofilter command on a protected worksheet: run-time error '1004': you cannot use this command on a protected sheet. etc. etc. even though i set "allow all users of this worksheet to: use autofilter" in the options dialog. what's wrong? -- dreamz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreamz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26462 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535565 |

autofilter and worksheet protection
Protect the sheet with userinterface only turned on. Then in the visual
basic editor for that worksheet's property box ensure that enable autofilter is set to True. To protect with userinterface only has to be done via a macro but it only has to be done once and then you can get rid of the macro. Press Alt & F11 to get to the visual basic editor.

autofilter and worksheet protection
the filter has already been created on the sheet and, since i'm using excel 2003, i checked the "autofilter" option in the dialog. it still does not work. -- dreamz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreamz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26462 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535565 |

autofilter and worksheet protection
i filter with code. everything works well now. my only remaining question is this: how can i disable cell selection with the userinterfaceonly code? i want to make it so that the end-user can click only those cells that i designate. -- dreamz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreamz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26462 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535565 |
