Default how do I restrict access to only one worksheet in excel?

You should be able to hide the worksheet (with the sheet active, Format
Sheet
Hide), the protect the workBOOK. If you like, you can put a password onthe
protection. But realize that there are easy tools out there to crack Excel
passwords, so if the data is truly sensitive, this protection isn't very
secure...


Most secure way would be to only send the sheet you want them to see -
delete the other sheet and save it as <a different name ... and send them
that :)
If there are calculations on that other sheet that are shown in the one you
want them to see ... I don't know.

The person should be able to access all the other worksheets.
I tried protecting, but people can see the sheet but cant modify. I tried
adding a password, but with this you can either open the excel file or not.
Is this even possible in Excel?
