Not a novice - can't delete tabs!

[Sherri]

Using Excel 2003.

I've received a spreadsheet from another company and need to delete most of
the tabs for our use. I know this is simple in theory but I'm baffled. There
is some sort of protection on this workbook that I can't find and it prevents
me from being able to make changes such as deleting sheets.

I can make changes within the sheets to cells, formatting, etc. There are
many other options that are hidden from me though: conditional formatting;
insert chart, symbol, diagram, etc.; subtotals; pivot charts; and so on.

I've run a macro to remove all protection and passwords and it returns that
there is no protection or password within the workbook. Any ideas??? I know
i'm missing a simple setting somewhere...

Thanks.

Nevermind. I'm an idiot! Figured out it was in shared workbook mode. Turned
it off and all is well. Sorry and thanks!
