password protect a spreadsheet to prevent it from being opened.
I am trying to secure a spreadsheet and/or workbook in Excel 2000 to prevent
someone from opening. Only those with the proper password whould be allowed to view this spreadsheet. I have used the protection feature available and it merely prevents changes to the doc. |

From the excel help file
Protect a workbook file from viewing or editing On the File menu, click Save As. On the Tools menu, click General Options. Do either or both of the following: If you want users to enter a password before they can view the workbook, type a password in the Password to open box, and then click OK. If you want users to enter a password before they can save changes to the workbook, type a password in the Password to modify box, and then click OK. When prompted, retype your passwords to confirm them. Click Save. If prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook.
