Why would you be doing this?

With the workbook closed I can still right-clickPropertiesSummary and
change the Author Name if I wanted to steal and distribute the workbook as
my creation.

Assuming I have full permissions to make changes to files and folders.

If users have restricted permissions then I think Gary's beforesave code
will do the job.

But will be defeated if macros are disabled by users.

Hi there

Is there a way to lock the author details found in properties? I don't want
other users to be able to change this but at the same time don't want to have
to password protect the whole sheet.

Any help as always appreciated
