Tack Bjorn. I appreciate the speedy reply.
The Protect Sheet options are: "contents, objects, scenarios" (all with optional password). Before that Tools\Protection offers protect: sheet, workbook and protect and share workbook. They do not display this option either! It might be elsewhere but I see what you are trying to achieve. My version is Excel 2004 for Mac so they must have put it in a different place. Anyone know where?
