Default hide a page and prevent outside users from viewing it.

You must protect the workbook under ToolsProtection after hiding the sheet.

But as others have pointed out........Excel is not very secure.

My advice is always..........if you don't want them to see it, don't include it
in the workbook.

I have a doc. that has a page of important info that only I want to
hace access to. I can protect it and then hide it. At first I
thought that once it was protected no one could view it unless I
unprotected it. It appears that i was wrong as you can still go to
the menu and select unhide and then open it.

How do I absolutely protect this sheet from viewing unless I enter a
password.
