Ron, thank you for your reply. It is not password protected, just protected.
Each time I open ANY excel document I have to go into TOOLS and then
PROTECTION and unprotect the sheet.

It came on suddenly, and now this step is required with every excel document
I open. Even on the documents I create, and I do not add protection to the
documents.

I hope you can help.

Thank you,
Kim

Hi Kim

Do you mean Protected with a password or that all cells are locked

Each time I create a new Excel spreadsheet it is automatically protected.
How can I stop this from happening.

Thank for your help.
