Click <File <Save As...

When the Save As window opens, click <Tools <General Options

Enter your desired password in the 'Password to modify:' box and then click
'OK".

This will launch a 'Confrim Password' window in which you will need to
re-enter the desired password.

The user will be able to open the file and not save changes. However, the
user can delete/modify any data while it is open--just not save the changes.

If you want the user to only be able to open the file and not be able to
change anything, you might want to consider using the Protection feature.
This allows the author to protect the whole file, separate sheets, or a
single cell.

<Tools <Protection

Best wishes.
