Protection.AllowInsertingColumns Property

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

Returns True if the insertion of columns is allowed on a protected worksheet. Read-only Boolean.

Syntax

expression.AllowInsertingColumns

expression   A variable that represents a Protection object.

Remarks

An inserted column inherits its formatting (by default) from the column to its left, which means that it may have locked cells. In other words, users may not be able to delete columns that they have inserted.

The AllowInsertingColumns property can be set by using the Protect method arguments.

Example

This example allows the user to insert columns on the protected worksheet and notifies the user.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ProtectionOptions()

ActiveSheet.Unprotect

' Allow columns to be inserted on a protected worksheet.
If ActiveSheet.Protection.<strong>AllowInsertingColumns</strong> = False Then
    ActiveSheet.Protect AllowInsertingColumns:=True
End If

MsgBox "Columns can be inserted on this protected worksheet."



End Sub
