Grouping in protected sheet issue

[malaka76]

Hi Gurus,

I have come across the problem of not being able to use the group function when protecting a worksheet.
Googling the problem I have found the below code to add to the worksheet. But when I attempt to group,
I still get the unprotect sheet to use grouping funtion error message. Can anyone assist? Thanx

Hi, malaka76,

the code you found has to be placed in ThisWorkbook as it will be started on opening the workbook (this event can only be started from there - and from a normal module if the procedure is named Auto_Open). If you placed it behind a Worksheet it will never fire...

Ciao,
Holger

Hi everyone

I have exactly the same problem in Excel 2010, but I have no knowledge of VB. Is it possible to provide some simple step-by-step instructions to allow me to apply the above fix to a worksheet? Huge thanks in advance.
