group/ungroup protected sheets?

[RLD]

Is it possible to allow users to group & ungroup rows in a protected sheet?

You must have the Data>Group and Outline area pre-set.

Then you add event code to the worksheet module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
With Me
.Protect Password:="justme", userinterfaceonly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
End Sub

This will allow showing and hiding detail on a protected sheet.

I have very limited experience in visual basic and I am trying to create a
form
to distribute. Is there a way to run the code automatically when the file is
opened. I do not want the users to go into visual basic and run the code.
(unless there is something that i am missing, but that seems to be the only
way
i can get it to work).

Thanks
Brendan

The code I posted is event code which runs when the specific worksheet is
activated by clicking on the sheet tab.

All the code does is allow changing G & O the sheet when sheet is selected.

All other protection remains in effect.

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste the code into that sheet module.

Alt + q to return to Excel.

Switch sheets forth and back to see results of code.

Hi,

Found many suggestions how to enable grouping in protected sheet, but still doesn't work for me. Is it problem because I'm using Excel 2010? All it does - asks me to save file as xlsm mode and then still does nothing... Thank you for any advice.
