Can you lock out users from editing graphs in Excel
I have a tool written in VBA in Excel but I am having problems with users changing the graph data series.
Is there anyway that when they open their copy of the file, to deny access to graph controls? eg, not allow them to edit data series, graph type, etc.
Thanks

Yes, you can e.g. set the ProtectData' property of the chart to True:
Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(1).Chart.ProtectData = True
