I use the protection with filtering on
is there a way that allows me to have the show all function workable as
this curently is only allowed with the protection off
all assistance is appreciated.

The Autofilter must be enabled before the sheet is protected.

Then check the "Use Autofilter" option.

The "show all" button is still disabled on a protected worksheet.

You could have your own macro that unprotects the sheet, does a show all, and
then reprotects the sheet, though.

Record a macro when you do the work.

Then take a look at the notes at David McRitchie's site:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

Post back with your questions.

Is this a 2002 thing?

2003 allows "show all" on a protected sheet.

I can't test because I removed 2002 recently.

I use xl2003.

And I couldn't use "show all" on a filtered protected worksheet.

You sure you protected that worksheet when you tested.

(And that's the way I remember xl2002 working, too. But now you're casting
doubts!)

Tewrminology coming into play here<g

My use of "show all" is not correct.

Worksheet is protected with "use autofilter" checked.

Hit drop-down arrow on column A and filter on something.

Hit again on column A drop-down and "All" will unfilter.

Correct that the DataFilterShow All is grayed out.
