**jmaterano** · 09-19-2010, 01:26 PM

Hello How are you?

How do I do if I protect a sheet in a workbook but I want to outline enabled in a worksheet?

Thanks for your answers!

Best regards!

Can you not enable formats in the protection option?

You have to use code to set the EnableOutlining property of the sheet and then protect it with the Userinterfaceonly:=true option. Note that this has to be done each time you open the workbook - sample code:

Thank you very much for your answer, that's what I needed.

I have only one question, how I can do to apply to all sheets of a book?
