Password protecting file (modifying) with a slight twist
Hi all,
I've used 'Save As' 'Tools' 'General Options' and set a password to modify. ONe slight issue that I have is that someone can open the file read-only, then 'Save As' another filename and the password protection disappears. Maybe there's another way? Here's a little background: I have a master file that has the password protection, and from this other copies are made for seperate projects. I need each of these to also have the password protection as only a few people need write access.... this isn't a problem if the file is copied/pasted via the folder itself, but using 'Save As' gets around this. Cheers for any help! Marc |

Password protecting file (modifying) with a slight twist
Hi,
thanks for the reply. I've just tried this but I'm afraid it doesn't work. The password protection still disappears when saved as a new filename.
