    Auto Filter

    Hi All,

    Is there a way to use the auto filter when all cells on a spreadsheet are protected. It doesnt appear to work when cells are protected.

    Cheers

    Craig.

    Auto Filter

    You need to set up the AutoFilter BEFORE you protect the sheet. The protection will allow you to USE the AF...but not create one.

    Remember to Check: Use AutoFilter...when engaging protection.

    Does that help?

    Hi All,

    I using this VBA code to protect a sheet to enable me to use the autofilter. This works great but I want to be able to do this in a shared workbook but for some reason this does not work. Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Craig.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm not sure if my previous query can be done so I was wondering if there was a way to automatically save and close a work book after a specified time.

    Thanks
    Craig.
