Excel 87 unprotecting a workbook password
I need your help-
I have several workbooks and each workbook has eight (8) worksheets. Right now the workbook is password protecting prompting a person to enter a password to be entering when accessing the file. I want to change the workbook access to "read only" for any user. I want the system to prompt for modifying a workbook. I am the author of the Excel workbooks. I have access the workbook highlighted and deleted the password - clicked ok - saved the workbook - closed the workbook. When I tried opening the workbook up again it still prompts for a password. The file should open up in read-only. Does anyone have a solution to this problem. I want the file to open up with the prompt of read-only. Can anyone help me? |
