    Disabling the Sheets Unhide feature in Excel

    Hi All

    I dont know if it is possible or not, but I am wondering if anyone knows if you can Disable the Unhide feature in Excel. The feature I am talking about is found under Format > Sheet > Unhide.

    If this is possible I would love to be able to code this in..... it will keep little fingers from not touching what they shouldnt be.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Disabling the "Unhide"?
    Is the Sheet visible when the excel file will be opened?
    because i think that when the sheet is visible the Unhide function will be definitely disabled...

    Are you trying to say that you want the Unhide function disabled when the sheet is hidden?

    cheers!

      No the sheets are not visible, I have the sheets hidden when excel opens, I have commands the user presses to enter their password before the sheet will become visible.

            By protecting the workbook completely the unhide is disabled as well. Just make sure that you have not locked the cells the user should work on.
