Default Preventing other users from opening hidden worksheets

Protect the workbook under ToolsProtectionProtect Workbook.

After you have hidden the sheet, that would be.

See Bob's caveat about Excel security.

I have a workbook to which only i have the password. All other users open it
as "read only". Within the book are some hidden worksheets. However, even
when the book is opened as "read only", a user is able to unhide these
sheets. I've tried using "Tools-Options-View-Hide Tabs" &
"Format-Sheet-Hide", all to no avail.
Is there an easy way I can prevent this?
thanks in anticipation.
