    Restricting adding worksheets

    We published a 2003 spreadsheet for people to enter expense information, but some get cute and add worksheets to it (instead of sending in multiple spreadsheets).

    How can prevent a worksheet to be added to our spreadsheet?

    Most complete answer isn't an Excel one, it's an accountability one.

    The first time someone does that, send it back in an email with a COPY to their supervisor. Without scolding, reiterate how the sheet is to be used and adding worksheets is unacceptable. Make sure they understand and ask them to respond that they do.

    They won't be cute again.

    Tools > Protection > Protect Workbook, make sure that Structure is ticked and click OK.

    Dominic,
    Thanks that did it. I am running 2007 so it took a while to find the protection stuff on this 2003 spreadsheet but I did find it.
