Excel Encryption
I'd like to protect certain spreadsheets using the Excel 2003 built-in
encryption. Just on a hunch, I Googled Excel Encryption, and discovered a variety of programs claiming to be able to open any such encrypted files, regardless of password complexity. Is this correct? If so, is there any convenient way to encrypt effectively? -- PT |

Excel Encryption
Yes it is, Excel protection is very weak and whatever password you use can
be broken easily by anyone with a little knowledge and the will to do so. It's not really meant for high security, more to prevent accidental overwriting etc. Regards, Alan. "PT" wrote in message ...
