Is there any way to protect some worksheets with a pasword that can not be breaked? No. Internal passwords are easily broken. You could make things annoying for users who unlock worksheet by using udfs which check whether specific worksheets are protected or not and return error values if they're not protected or Empty (effectively the same value as blank cells) otherwise, then call such udfs from every formula so that all formulas return errors when any worksheets that should be protected aren't. However, there's no way to stop users from replacing your password with one of their own. |

A UDF is a User Defined Formula.
