Hello, I have been looking but cannot find the answer to what i am looking to achieve.

Is there any code that will prevent users hidding columns on a worksheet, I do not want to protect the whole sheet, but am finding different users hide different columns which then causes problems for others.

I have added in code to unhide all columns on refreshing and saving, but wondered if there was code just to prevent columns being hidden in first place.

thanks
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
This unhides all hidden columns when a different cell is selected
Put in SHEET module
(right click on Tab name \ View Code)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    UsedRange.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End Sub

Or
UnHide the columns whenever the file is saved with
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Sheets("MySheetName").UsedRange.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End Sub

I should have mentioned that the code to unhide at time of saving must be placed in ThisWorkbook module
