password problem
I started a spreadsheet for a friend a couple of months back and as she is
always messing it up I password protected it and now cant get the password correct to update it. It wont be a difficult one as for something like that (not important) I usually use something simple like `password` or just `p` enough to stop them deleting my formulaes, I have tried all my usual permutations but can crack it. The spreadsheet is not urgent and would only take a couple of hours to re create, but if I dont have to then....... Any help appreciated. thanks |

password problem
Many thanks it worked a treat. I would never have worked it out (and that I
cant understand) but it has saved me re doing the sheet. Many thanks for your help I genuinely appreciate it. "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...
