Default Excel 2007 sheet and workbook protection

You can also make them Very Hidden in the VBA editor

Select the sheet in the VBA editor
In the properties window (F4 if you not see it)

Change Visible

Protect your project with a password (ToolsVBA project properties)

Thanks Ron but anyone can Unhide the sheet and view the content. I should
have said that. But your tip is very handy where you have a lot of sheets
but only work on a few at once.

....

If you want so called Very Hidden worksheets, you need to use a macro to
make them so in Excel 2007 just the same as you had to do in Excel 2003.
That same macro code, possibly using different worksheet names, should still
work.

Note that anyone can still access these worksheets using macros. You could
protect them, but internal passwords are very easily cracked. The point is
not to expect much more than inhibiting innocent curiosity with the
'protection' tools Excel provides.
