How can I save a workbook so that the only way to open it is with a password.
It is on a share drive and I only want certain managers viewing the
information.

Thanks!

I tried that first and it still opens the workbook without a providing a
password. Do I need to lock cells or certain tabs individually then protect
the workbook?

You can always hide the tabs
Select first tab, hold don Ctrl key select last tab
Format - Sheet - Hide
When it's protected, can't unhide them.

Goto Save as Tools (upper right side)General Optionsand a Save Options
window will pop up. Fill it in and don't forget the password!!! Ok out and
resave the document. Now it will need the password to open.
