How to protect formula's, but allow autofilter
 

Please help, if I want to protect the formula's in a workbook, but allow
the adminstrator to use autofilter. How do I do this and is it possible?

How to protect formula's, but allow autofilter
 

If you already have the outline/subtotals applied, you can protect the worksheet
in code (auto_open/workbook_open??).

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True
'.EnableOutlining = True
.EnableAutoFilter = True
End With
End Sub

It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (excel doesn't remember
it after closing the workbook.)

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
