Depends on what was protected and how it was protected. There are password
crackers available for free on the web -- do a Google Groups search using "excel" "password" "cracker" as keywords. You'll find VBA code that you can cut and paste into a VBA module; when you run that code, you'll eventually (in a few seconds) be shown a password that you can use to unprotect a worksheet. But if the worksheet has been protected more strictly, maybe via protecting a VB project, there's no inexpensive and straightforward solution, at least not one that I know of. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. -- C^2 Conrad Carlberg Excel Sales Forecasting for Dummies, Wiley, 2005 "Bowling265" wrote in message ...
