Is there a way to prevent a user from deleting certain worksheets yet still
being able to insert new worksheets?

Thanks,

Not without using VBA.

You would have the workbook protected to prevent deleting sheets.

Run a macro which would unprotect the workbook and add a given or chosen
number of sheets then reprotect the workbook.

Record a macro while you go through the above steps to add one sheet.

Will look something like this.

Sub Sheets_Add()
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:="justme"
howmany = InputBox("Number of Sheets to insert")
For i = 1 To howmany
Sheets.Add
Next i
ActiveWorkbook.Protect Password:="justme", Structu=True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
