Protecting Column Widths

I have a bit of a dilemma. I need to only protect the width of my columns. As my users need to have the ability to add/delete rows, make changes to date/text cells, but not be able to adjust the column width.

Is this possible?
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
I'm not sure if this is the best way of dealing with this but you insert following code into the Worksheet module:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Columns("F:F").ColumnWidth = 20
End Sub

The user can try and modify the column width but the moment they move to another cell the width will return to your deafult.
