Multiple Passwords to open worksheets
 
When using the require password to open file option, is it possible to have
more than one password allowed? i.e. individual users and an administrator..
If so, how?
Thanks in advance

You can always try to combine 2 options (or rather by-passes, but it's more
than nothing):

1. Use different passwords to open read-only, and to open for writing.
2. Generate multiple versions of one workbook, with different passwords, for
each user - you can very simply do it, using VBA.

Tomasz,
Being a relative neophyte, I do not understand how to exercise either
option. Perhaps you could expand. Thanks in advance.

Tomasz,
I see how the read only and write password option works. Thanks. As for the
VBA, I do need some help there. Thanks again.
