Simplest way is to ask the person for the password.
If they did the work for your company or were employed by your company they almost certainly have a legal obligation to provide that information. If the password is lost, simply search Excel newsgroups for password, there are lots of free password breakers. I see you got the answer, but the first point is still valid if it was done on purpose to keep the work from being used if they weren't around. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Deb" wrote in message ups.com...
