Hi

I have several groups in a worksheet. The sheet is also protected, but
this prevents me from activating (opening/closing) the groups. How do i
cirkumvent this, without un-protecting the sheet?

Thanks!

If you already have the outline 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
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:

Dave,

Thanks! It's just perfect when used with Worksheet_Activate().

(Sorry for the groups/ouline mis-translation. I'm using a non-english
version of Excel.)
