When you save it, FileSave AsToolsGeneral Options That will get you to the password protect window for the file as a whole.

Yep. Is there something stronger? Or write some code when it opens? What
would your recommendation be?

My recommendation is:
If you don't want someone to see the confidential data, remove it from the workbook before emailing. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 1 Apr 2008 17:27:02 -0700, pdberger wrote: Yep.

No need to hack the password. Bill |
