    How to protect formula's, but allow autofilter

    Please help, if I want to protect the formula's in a workbook, but allow the adminstrator to use autofilter. How do I do this and is it possible?

    If you already have the outline/subtotals applied, you can protect the worksheet
    in code (auto_open/workbook_open??).

    Option Explicit
    Sub auto_open()
    With Worksheets("sheet1")
    .Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True
    '.EnableOutlining = True
    .EnableAutoFilter = True
    End With
    End Sub

    It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (excel doesn't remember
    it after closing the workbook.)

    If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
