Hi there,

you can protect the workbook itself (against modification = read only, or
even fully, against all access) when saving the file:
file menu/ save as/ Tools (dropdown list on the panel right hand side) /
settings
and adding the PW

hope, this helps,

There are several types of password protection.

1. Password to open the file. Can be set at FileSave AsToolsGeneral
Options.

2. Password on a protected worksheet. This is set at ToolsProtectionProtect
Sheet.

Many functions can be disabled using this type of protection.

3. Workbook Protection password. This is set at ToolsProtectionProtect
Workbook.

This protects the workbook from having sheets deleted and other functions
disabled.

4. VBA Project password to prevent viewers from looking at code modules.

NOTE: except for File to Open protection and VBA project passwords, most forms
of Excel protection are very weak and passwords can be easily cracked.
