Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have an Excel worksheet with an
image (logo). If I right-click on the picture and select Format
Picture / Protection, the "Locked" checkbox is checked. I then
protect the worksheet with a password.  Despite all of the
above, the end user can still select and delete the image. Is
there any way to prevent this?   Indeed Edit Objects was
unchecked.  The Worksheet.Protect method I am using has a number
of optional parameters which control what the user can modify on
a protected sheet. The majority of these are parameters named
AllowXXX (e.g. AllowFormattingColumns) which default to False.
The parameter DrawingObjects is an exception. This parameter
defaults to False: to protect drawing objects it must be
explicitly set to True.  share|improve this question add comment
