Re: Excel question...I'm in a meeting

John:

I just tried to protect an existing workbook and found I still could copy/paste
after protecting it with a password.  Password protection apparently applies
only to changing data in the existing worksheet, not a new one.  So the only
way you can protect an existing sheet is to put it in a directory with some
form of access protection, either a password to even look at it, or in the
operating system permission rules.
