Reserving Excel documents
How does a person "reserve" documents to where a password is required in
order to change data? I used to know this.... |
Hi Jen
there's basically three ways you can put a password on an excel document 1) to open it (file / save as / click tools - general options - password ... this allows you to set a password to open and / or a password to modify) 2) password protection set on a sheet by sheet basis (tools / protection / protect sheet) ... this allows you to limit the cells the people can change (need to "unlock" the cells you want them to get to first - format / cells / protection - untick locked) 3) password protect the structure of the workbook (tools/ protection / protect workbook) this stops them inserting or deleting or renaming sheets hope this helps cheers JulieD "Jen" wrote in message ...
