Is there is any way to apply password to a folder instead of each files.

Not using anything built into excel.

This is more of an operating system question.

If you're using windows, you may want to post to a windows newsgroup. Include
the version of windows you're running, how you're logged on (as an admin or as a
user) and where the folder resides (network share or local folder).

It's an FAQ in the Windows newsgroups, and the answer is "No, you
cannot password a folder."

Thanks for the info.

Maybe the OP can use a zip file and password protect that instead???

Yes, that's what I'd do. The recommendation in the XP groups is to
set file permissions, but frankly I don't understand that, and I'm
not sure it's even possible with XP Home.

I've never seen that in WinXP Home either. But maybe we'er just bad "lookers".
