UserInterFaceOnly and resize of table

I'm using Excel 2013

I want to know if it is possible to protect a worksheet and allow a user to resize a table using VBA.

I have added the following code to the workbook open sub:

Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect Password:="abc", UserInterFaceOnly:=True
Next ws

When the VBA to resize the table is called I get an error:

"Cannot use this table functionality on a protected sheet"

I was hoping that UserInterfaceOnly could be used as I don't want Unprotect the sheet, apply the table changes, then re-protect the sheet because of the slow performance of the Protect operation in Excel 2013

Romperstomper - thanks for the reply. I tried the change you suggested and the table update does now work BUT the sheet now appears to be fully editable. As a user I can now enter data into any of the cells, delete add rows and columns etc. I was hoping that sheet edits through the user interface would be stopped
