Grouping in Protect WorkSheets

[POD]

I need to be able to interact with the Grouping Function (Data - Grou
and Outline - Group ) while the worksheet I am working on is protected
Is this possible

 

[Dave Peterson]

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.)
