I haven't gotten that far yet. I can't even find how to tell it I want
to unprotect it. I guess I'll just have to tell the AVS to skip this
file.

I have a couple of spread sheets from FPGA vendors for power
calculation. They "protect" the spread sheet, I assume so that you
don't mess with the calculations. I find that my anti-virus software
can't open the document and reports an error every time it is scanned.
I tried to disable the protection, but that option is not available on
these files. Anyone know what is going on? Even if I need a
password to unprotect the workbook, I can't find where to enter it.

I guess I can just delete it to get it off the PC and download it
fresh each time I need to use it, or maybe put it on a CD. But I am
tired of going through a list of dozens of errors on protected files
each time I run my AVS and I am getting rid of them one way or the
other.

You might give this a try if the vendor won't give you the password -
