Hi Dave,

I know that I can´t protect the files totaly.
Anyone as you say that are good i excel can open them,
but I want to protect them from "a normal" user.
I have some wery critical information regarding our
business that I don´t want to be spread outside our firm?

Do you know any way to do this automatic, for
example with a macro? If I can chose I dont
want a password.

Best regards
Mia

The only effective way to keep people out of your workbook is to not share it
with them.

Anything that depends on a macro means that macros can be disabled--and it's not
too difficult to break into your code and just turn off the things that do the
checking.

You could give the workbook a nice password to open and only share the password
with trusted co-workers, but even those can be broken.
