Hi Robert, Thanks for the post, In answer to your question if you wish to stop anyone without the correct password from opening your Workbook there are two methods;
1. When you save the Workbook, in the Save As dialog box, Click the little drop down arrow next to the Tools Menu option, from the Menu which opens choose General Options, Insert Password and Confirm it. Give the File a Name and save it in the folder of your choice.
2. Whilst the Workbook is open go to Menu command Tools>Options and from the Security tab enter and confirm pasword as necessary.
I hope that helps, best regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Calculate difference between two times

For presenting the result in the standard time format (hours : minutes : seconds . Use the subtraction operator (-) to find the difference between times, and the TEXT function to format the returned value to text in a specific number format.

Hours never exceed 24, minutes never exceed 60, and seconds never exceed 60.

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h")
Hours between two times (4)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm")
Hours and minutes between two times (4:55)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm:ss")
Hours and seconds between two times (4:55:00)

Where B2 and A2 must hold the end time and start time respectively formatted as a time format
