Default protecting worksheets

I'm sure there are better ways of doing this, but this works:
Hide the cells in the worksheet you dont want seen (say row 1 through row
500 ), protect that sheet - allow nothing - you can also hide the sheet under
Format - Sheet - Hide

Hi, My last question i dont think i explained in enough detail.

I have a workbook shared across a few computers for my employees to view.
The only information they need to see is Sheet 1. However, i dont want them
to be able to view the content in sheet 2 and 3. Can i have confidential or
something like that or a password to type in before anything can be shown
when that sheet is selected.

I have tried password protect through tools but that only stops me entering
data rather than not being able to view the content.

Im sure i have done this before. Can anybody help?

Thanks

David
