Sorting, Filtering and Hyperlinking from a Protected Spreadsheet

[Hampo]

Hi Everyone - I'm new to asking a Forum foradvice but I'm running steam trying to resolve this issue. I have a spreadsheet detailing the singer or band in column 1, the name of the tune in column 2 and inthe next 3 columns have hyperlinks to 3 different levels of music. I want protect thesheet from editing and i want to sort/filter the band or songs or music difficulty and then the reader selects the hyperlink against the difficulty of music he/she is interested in playing and it downloads from a folder.
I've scannned the internet and tried a bit of VBA - I'm not very proficient!!
