Enabling a list autofilter in a protected worksheet - Excel 2003
 

I have a list set up within a worksheet and I need to protect the worksheet
and still be able to filter the list.

If I select Protect Sheet and check Enable Autofilter then it works but this
option prevents me being able to collapse the rows using the grouping.

I therefore tried a macro I found here so that the grouping works but this
stops my list filter working. The macro I'm using is:

Sub workbook_open()
With Worksheets("My Sheet Name")
.Protect , userinterfaceonly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
.EnableAutoFilter = True
End With

Any suggestions on a command I can include in the macro so the list filter
and grouping both work in the protected sheet?

Thanks

When I run your code in XL2003 both autofilter and outlining work. I can
send my simple workbook if you like.

This worked ok for me--allowing filtering of lists and filtering using
data|filter|autofilter.

Option Explicit
Sub workbook_open()
With Worksheets("My Sheet Name")
.Protect userinterfaceonly:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
End Sub

Yes, I missed that you're doing this with an official 'list'. I tried this
code and it seemed to allow filtering with a list:

..Protect userinterfaceonly:=True, AllowFiltering:=True

| I have set up a list by selecting a number of cells with the top cell
being
| the header (say E4 to E38) Then I select Data--List--Create List and my
| selection shows in the pop up plus I select "My list has headers". On
| clicking OK Excel creates an autofilter dropdown on the header cell which
| covers the cells in my list only.
|
| This is a separate filter to the Data--Filter--Autofilter (although
Excel
| also marks the auto filter as switched on with it) and I can also set up
an
| autofilter at the same time in the spreadsheet (Excel swaps between them
| enabling the list filter when you click on a cell in the list and the main
| autofilter if you click anywhere else in the worksheet).
|
| Its the list filter that does not work when the macro is run but works
when
| I select protect from the menubar
