How to keep sheet modules collapsed?
 
Why is that the sheet modules or "microsoft excel objects" expands
when I switch from the VBE to Excel?

In one project, I have 50+ sheet modules, which I keep collapsed while
working in my normal modules. This way I'm not distracted by all the
sheet modules when scrolling to other modules. I then switch over to
the Excel workbook to work in the cells. When I switch back to the
VBE, all the sheet modules are no longer collapsed. I have to keep
collapsing them when returning to the VBE, they won't remain
collapsed.

Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks.

I'n my experience all you can do is protect the project, which is great for
completes add-ins you don't need to mess with, but that hides the whole thing
until you unprotect it.

Right. But once it's unlocked, there's no way to keep the sheet
modules collapsed, right?

So, is everyone else having to deal with this too? It's not just me,
right? I was afraid I was missing a work-around.

I'd forgotten about this one: www.mztools.com.

It's a free add-in for the VBE that includes an option to collapse groups.

I think that's about the best you're gonna get...

I love it! 'Not what I was asking for, but I've never seen this tool
and have lots of uses for it. Anymore cool tools like that?

Thanks!

If you're pre Office 12 you can check out VBScroll by Shahin Gasanov. A
Google search will turn it up. It allows scrolling in the VBE.
