Hi Kevin,

Not quite sure what you mean here. If you're talking about password protecting a workbook, you can do this by going to File -> Save As -> Tools -> General Options -> and change 'Password to modify' field. I doubt you could use a string of characters you have captured elsewhere, unless you simply paste in the password using Control+V (on Windows).

To just make a workbook read only: right click the file in windows explorer -> Properies -> Tick 'read only' box -> Press OK.

I hope this helps. Please do reply back if you require further information. Otherwise, please mark the question as resolved.

Kind regards,
Rich

Excel tip:

Selecting constant values only

If periodically you need to change all your values back to zero, but leave formulas, text and blank cells as they are select the entire worksheet, choose F5 function key, Special and then Constants and choose the appropriate sub-selections. To enter zero in all the selected cells type 0 and then press Ctrl+Enter.
