OK, I'll give you that you didn't make a statement.
The answer to your question is "no" for the reason(s) I already gave.

I made no statement.
I asked a question. I'll ask it again. Is this a data security issue
with MS Excel?
Disclaimer: I have never used protection mechanism in Excel or OOo Calc.
I am just asking a question - not making a statement.

properties to be protected, then password protect the sheet/document.
Cells that weren't selected to be protected can still have their
contents modified which makes it possible to enter data into forms,
among other tasks.

Perhaps it would be safer to migrate to OOo? :)

Problem with archive of the Excel.
The archive does not open.
E shows message saying that it has password.
But this archive does not have password.
It can help to decide?

It is very possible that the spreadsheet contains one or more
protected cells. These are protected by a password.
OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.0 will be able to open these Excel
spreadsheets, but 1.1.x versions do not. There is a Beta candidate
presently available that should be able to open these files. Just
remember that it is still in the testing phase. If you choose to use
the Beta version, make sure you make a copy of any file before opening
it with OOo's Beta version. It is not likely that OOo will cause any
problems with the files, but it is always better to be cautious than to
be sorry later.
