Default How to make a worksheet unchangeable by other users

Hi Wolfie,

I want to place an Excel sheet on a shared drive for others to see but I
don't want them to be able to alter or input any data


You can add a "password to modify" to a file. Do a file, save as and click the
Tools button, select "general options" and enter the "Password to modify"
there.
