Dear Sir,
I know how to protect a worksheet (page) at a time by going to Tool Protection Protect Sheet Enter Passwords Twice. If I have a file with 20 worksheets, may I know what is the shortest way to protect the entire file with a password ? Also the above protection feature is to prevent someone from editing or deleting the entries. When If I save the file in the shared drive or even my personal drive, is there a way to prevent the file from being deleted intentionally or accidentally with a password ? I would appreciate very much if you could provide me with the helpful information in this area Thanks Low -- A36B58K641 |

Here you will have two options, one is to give the user read only access and the other is to allow opening of the file only if the correct password is supplied. |

Helo tc,
I entered password for the two purposes as you mentioned. However, I can still open the file witout having to key in my password. I can also amend the file without having to key in my password. May I know why ?
