Group and Outline
Upon protecting a worksheet I find I am unable to collapse or expand grouped
rows in a worksheet. Is there a way to accomplish this without unprotecting the worksheet? It is used by 44 people and we need to have the cells with formulas protected? Thanks for any help Marsh |

If you already have the outline/subtotals/autofilter 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. (Earlier versions of excel don't remember it after closing the workbook. IIRC, xl2002+ will remember the allow autofilter setting under tools|Protection|protect sheet.) If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Marsh wrote: Upon protecting a worksheet I find I am unable to collapse or expand grouped rows in a worksheet.
