http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18454 Protecting an excel file Summary: Protecting an excel file Product: POI Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: HSSF AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wanted to generate a protected excel files in which only a few fields will be editable. Howerver on reading the FAQ on the HSSF I find it is not possible to protect the sheet because MS encrpyts the file, but fields can be locked. To circumvent this problem, I am using an blank excel file which is protected, and using my program I am creating a copy of this file first and then inserting values into this newly created file using POI. I find that I can acheive the desired results. Since I plan to extensively use this, has any one used these technique before, and encountered any issuses.
