Default Prevent Worksheet from being deleted

Is there any way to prevent a Worksheet from being deleted or renamed?

Thanks

Yes. Sort of.


Protect the workbook with a password under ToolsProtectionProtect Workbook for
Structure and Windows.

The "sort of" is generated by the fact that Excel's internal security is very
weak and passwords easily cracked.

I guess I should have made my question a little more exact. What I need is
to protect only a few out of many sheets. It's OK for the user to delete the
"other" sheets but not the ones I need to keep. Doesn't do me much good to
protect the contents of a sheet when someone can come along and delete the
whole sheet.
