Hi,

I am just wondering what password I can use so that the users can break it.

This is what happen. I have the sheets protected by a password from the
users changing the info in certain areas. Some people in the company have a
password breaker which they downloaded from the Internet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

AccessHelp, no password you use is safe

With regard to just Excel, I'm afraid that you are out of luck. MS did not give Excel the capability of complicating and encrypting
passwords in a manner that would prevent what you mentioned. I also have one of those PW hackers, and it usually gives me the
password before the worksheet even opens. Your only hope, is to place the WB in a location that you can assign a stronger PW to
(i.e. put it in a directory that has a PW). Windows allows much stronger capabilities than Excel. Now, if you want a user to be able
to open the file but not do certain things, you would then be forced to try to do things like attempt to place some of the "open
items" in a seperate WB which isn't so sensitive. Bottom line, though, Excel cannot help you by itself.

R. Choate,

Do you have a similar program for MS Word?

Sincerely,

Christmas May
