By default the protect sheet is not set up to allow the use of autofilter.
when you apply protection to the sheet when the dialog box opens for your
password, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a "Use Autofilter" box,
just check this.

Could you please also tell me what I have to select to apply the protection
to the whole workbook? Thank you !!

You're talking about 2 different things!, worksheet protection is done on a
sheet by sheet basis (or you can use a macro to do all of them) so you can
set each sheets permissions differently, and workbook protection is for the
whole structure.

Protect Sheet and Protect Workbook are on the review tab.

Just a head's up to prevent any confusion.

Vista is an operating system and has nothing to do with MS Office or Excel.

What you mean is "protect.xls(Excel 2007)"
