Lock Author details
gord:
have you noticed that in windows 7, you can't change the revision number on the
details tab by right clicking an xls file?
i constantly have to rename them to a 2007+ extension (xlsm) to expose that box.

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
