Cannot set a password
I have a couple of spreadsheets that I want to set password.
I did: Prepare - Encrypt Document - type a password - Confirm a password When I try to close the file, it says: "Microsoft Office Excel canno access the file ..... There are several possible reasons. *The file name or path does not exist. *The file is being used by another program. *The workbook you are trying to save has the same as a currently open workbook." Is there a way to fix this? Thank you in advance. |

Cannot set a password
Do any of the reasons apply?
Fix it/them first. But why are you wanting to Encrypt just to add a password to open?

The word "Prepare" in the statement
"Prepare - Encrypt Document - type a password - Confirm a password" is not familiar to me using Excel 2003 Is this the 2007 version you are running?
