In Excel 2003 can you password protect a single page in excel?
I am working on a business budget in excel, and want to link to a
confidential payroll page. Is there a way to link to a payroll projection page in the same excel spreadsheet, and password protect a single page so that the viewer is not able to view the specific contents of the payroll page? |

Nope.
If you want to put confidential information in excel, don't share it with others. Excel's protection isn't made to protect this kind of information.

What do you consider as a "page"?
Generally a page is a printed section of a worksheet. Do you mean "worksheet" maybe? You can hide a single worksheet by FormatSheetHide. Then you would ToolsProtectionProtect Wokbook.......structure and windows. Enter a password and OK BUT..........Excel's internal protection is very weak and passwords can be easily cracked by users who can access the internet and search for "password crackers". You might get a little more protection from prying eyes if you use VBA code to make a sheet xlveryhidden but not much. The rule of thumb is..............if it is confidential material, leave it out of the workbook.
