Excel sheet protection
 
Win XP Pro Ms Office 2003 Professional

I want to protect an work sheet with hidden columns that has cost
information I want to hide from my customers but just found out that if
I copy the spreadsheet and paste it into a new workbook, the protection
is gone.

How do I protect the sheet and make sure it stays protected?? HELP

XL is NOT as secure platform to use. No matter what you do the protection can
be broken or circumvented. Check out this link...

If you want to send thing to customers use PDF or something similar.
