Excel 2007 sheet and workbook protection
In Excel 2003 I can hide worksheets then protect them so they are not visible
to others. How can I do this in Excel 2007 ? I've tried hiding columns and that fine but that still leaves the sheet tab visible. |

Excel 2007 sheet and workbook protection
Thanks Ron but anyone can Unhide the sheet and view the content. I should
have said that. But your tip is very handy where you have a lot of sheets but only work on a few at once.

If you want so called Very Hidden worksheets, you need to use a macro to make them so in Excel 2007 just the same as you had to do in Excel 2003. That same macro code, possibly using different worksheet names, should still work. Note that anyone can still access these worksheets using macros. You could protect them, but internal passwords are very easily cracked. The point is not to expect much more than inhibiting innocent curiosity with the 'protection' tools Excel provides. |
