Protect Row
Posted by Al Jacobs on January 18, 2002 2:35 PM
I have a spreadsheet that needs to remain unprotected, but I want to warn users if they try to dellete rows. If they try to delete a row, I want a box to pop up that says "you can't do that," then a continue button to take them back to the unmodified spreadsheet. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hi
You can unlock all the cells and then protect the sheet to stop deleting rows. Or is there another reason why you dont want to protect it?

I have too many macros that copy between sheets, and I wanted to avoid rewriting all of them to unprotect then protect each sheet. Plus, my users like to experiment until they get an actual warning. I was hoping there is an OnEvent property that I could use with a Delete function.

Hi
There isnt a on delete event unfortunetely. There is a worksheet change event you might play with and application.undo to undo the delete, but it would probably be more trouble than it is worth.
