disable selection of pictures

I have a worksheet with a number of pictures in it. I want to disable
the user from being able to select, move, or delete the pictures in the
worksheet. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
-Abe

right click on the picture and select format picture.

in the protection tab, make sure Locked is checked.

then go to Tools=>Protection=>Protect sheet

In xl2000 and earlier, make sure objects are selected

in xl2002 and later, make sure you don't allow the user to "edit objects"

finish applying the protection.

Tom,

Will the VBA code I have still be able to edit, move and delete the
pictures?

You can unprotect and protect the sheet using code, so just do that in your
procedures when necessary to work with the pictures.
