Default Protecting an excell workbook

Hi,

I would use Windows to do this. In Windows Explorer, right click the file
and set it's property to read only. It won't stop people changing it but it
will stop them saving with the same filename and given the level; or lack of,
Excel security IMHO it's as good as any method.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

I have a workbook which has 15 worksheets in it. It is on a network drive so
other people can access it.

I want to allow people to view the workbook without having to enter a
password but i dont want them to be able to edit it.

Any suggestions on how I do this will be much appreciated

Many Thanks
