Renaming a worksheet

Is there a visual basic code to prevent a user from renaming a worksheet tab on a locked spreadsheet?

Go To The Tools Menu.
Select Protection.
Protect The Sheet.
Enter A Password.
The User Of The File Will Then Need A Password To Change The Name Of The Worksheet.

I did that. That protects everything except the name of the worksheet.

Raishon,
When I Protect The Workbook From This Menu It Won't Allow Me To Change The Name Of My Worksheet.
I Have Just Tried This A Few Times And It Worked Well.

It doesn't work for me. I'm talking about the tab names at the bottom of the worksheet. In my workbook I have four worksheets and I have protected each sheet individually and you can still double click on the tab name at the bottom of the sheet and rename the tab.

If You Protect The Workbook As A Whole Not The Individual Sheets You Will Not Be Able To Rename The Tabs At The Bottom. When I Right Click The Tabs At The Bottom Of My Sheet The Rename Option Is Greyed Out.
Try Unprotecting The Sheets & Protecting The Entire Workbook.
