I've been reading a lot about "cracking" passwords in excel using different
programs and results are that "nothing is really protected". I need to protect a worsheet before E mailing to different coworkers. It is possible to make in a way that they would not be able to change any content on it ? (even with those programs) I could use a macro. I also could use a nice WEBSITE if somebody has one. To add to my curiosity : how do those big companies make their schedules, to say one example, and let employees have access to them withot been able to "alter" anything on it? Probably this is a "excel programming question" THANKS. -- Socrates said: I only know, I don''''t know nothing. I say : I don''''t even know, I don''''t know nothing. |

Hi,
What you have heard is correct the only way to stop someone seeing and altering your worksheet is to not give it to them. Once you have allowed someone into your workbook the removal of workbook/sheet passwords is a Google search and mpments away. I present my work schedules to staff but only allow access to the workbook via the intranet. They could still save a copy and in fact change it but cannot change the version on the net.

I'm assuming is the same answer when it comes to
OPEN THE WORKBOOK if is protected ? Or is more protected as is not open yet. -- Socrates said: I only know, I don''''t know nothing. I say : I don''''t even know, I don''''t know nothing.
