    Issues with "Protect Workbook Structure"

    Hi All,

    I recently created a template to be used by multiple users across multiple departments. The template was created and then 60 copies were created, one for each department.

    Before I created the copies, I protected the workbook structure with a password so that the users couldn't unhide columns, delete formulas etc (albeit most were hidden anyway).

    The issue I have is that all sporadically, users open the file with a minimised window, and no matter how many times I go into the file, unprotect the Workbook Structure and save the file, the issue keeps arising.

    Has anyone had this sort of problem before? Unfortunately the changes will need to be made individually across 60 files (the pitfalls of the issue not arising previously before creating the copies!).

    Many thanks in anticipation of help as always!

    Regards,
    Simon
