Protecting worksheet
Morning all,
I'm trying to understand the purpose of the "Allow all users of this worksheet to:" in the protect sheet menu. It implies that a worksheet can be protected in a granular fashion. For example I could allow the user to insert columns, add data, format rows, but not delete columns or rows. When I try selecting these options and then save the sheet, i'm always prompted to unprotect before any data can be entered. I'm trying to understand the purpose of the "Allow all users of this worksheet to:" check boxes. If it's necessary to unprotect before data can be added, it's unclear what function these check boxes assume. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Art |

Art;
When you select the things that are allowed they should (normally) work without unprotecting the sheet. So, it might be that you get the message because your action(s) conflict with somethings else (which is still restricted because of protection). I have to be carefull because it's a little bit of a grey area, but I think that this must solve the matter. -- Regards; Mark Rosenkrantz -- Spreadsheet Solutions Uithoorn Netherlands -- E: W: www.spreadsheetsolutions.nl -- "Art Cummings" wrote in message ...
