Hello,

I am trying to create a spreadsheet in excel 2003, which has a toggl
button on it. When I press the button, I want the sheet to display tw
different sets of data, for example, display data in ColumnA and hid
ColumnC and vice versa.

I am also trying to add protection to the sheet so that when ColumnA i
shown, the rest of the sheet is protected, so no data in ColumnC can b
deleted accidentally.

I think it should be really easy, but I cannot get it work. :(

Can anyone provide any assistance?

Thanks in advance

Try something like in the sheet's code module.

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If Me.ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
Me.Columns("A").Hidden = False
Me.Columns("C").Hidden = True
Else
Me.Columns("A").Hidden = True
Me.Columns("C").Hidden = False
End If
End Sub

Thanks for the help so far. The code you have given only hides an
unhides the data.

Its the protection of the data that I cant really seem to get working
