MS Excel 2003 - pro edition. I also found an error in what I had posted... Note the new password to ?protect? the worksheet... 1/ Password protect a worksheet in Excel using the password "test" (without the quotes) 2/ Unprotect the same worksheet using the password "zzyw" (again no quotes)...
Remember this is for protecting a sheet (tools>protection>protect sheet), not an entire file... Apologies for the error... /paul On 10/12/05, Dore, Luc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can't reproduce this behavior on Excel 2000 (9.0.2720). > > With what version were you able to do this ? > > -- > Luc D. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 3:00 AM > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: [discuss] Just to make you feel safer using calc... > > > I've just found this little bit of information about dodgy Excel. > > 1/ Password protect a worksheet in Excel using the password "hello" > (without the quotes) > 2/ Unprotect the same worksheet using the password "zzyw" (again no > quotes)... > > Although the passwords are different (and even different sizes) it > works.
