Default Protect Excel Worksheet to be opened on one PC only

I have the opposite problem. I set a password for our Excel worksheets so
only the three of us who use it could get in, and only I can . . . it doesn't
even ask them for the password . . . just says "administrator set password".
Any idea what have I done wrong? We have 2003 and I used Tools, General
Options to set the password.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hello,

I am looking for a solution to protect an Excel document to be opened on one
computer only. On other computers, the Excel document should show a message
like "This document cannot be opened on this computer" or just fail to open.

The idea is to protect intellectual property in that document (and to
prohibit its usage, so a simple cell protection wouldn't be enough).

Third party solutions would be OK too.

Any answers would be highly appreciated!

Thank you,
Fabian
