Excel 2007
I have an Excel file that is [Shared]
I would like to change the password on this file, but it will not let me.
How do I change this file so it is not shared? And is this what is stopping
me from changing the password?

Sharing a s/s does not require a password. To unshare select Review on the
ribbon and then in the Changes box you will see options for protecting and
sharing. On the editing tab check the box "Allow changes .. etc"
Is the s/s protected? That's usually where you will find it is password
protected.

Thanks Arceedee, but this is a file I created - and I do not want it as a
shared file. How do I change this file. The "Allow changes... etc" is
checked off.

Hi Canon

I'm obviously not really understanding the problem. Are you able to save
the file to Google Docs and then allow me access through that site to have a
look? I think it's safer for both of us if done that way.

Happy to help if I can.
