    Excel format settings for multiple users??

    Hi there,

    I have created an excel sheet that i have locked and protected so end users cant screw it up basically. But i have it formatted nicely on my screen (i.e. i have removed unecessary toolbars/formula bar etc) so it looks tidy. But as soon as another user opens it up on their PC, all the toolbars etc keep reappearing and it looks very untidy again. Im guessing this is down to each user's preference on how they like to work in excel, but is there anyway you can customise this so you get a standard view for all users????

    Would this perhaps be in the module code or something like that??

    Many Thanks!

    Tom

    You can do this using VBA but you must remember to reset the user's settings. I would recommend that you avoid this as if you fail to reset then you can end up with irate user, very unfortunate if it is your boss. Also, what you think may be better looking may not be so for the user.
    Hope that helps.
