She is using Outlook as well. I can't replicate it either. I understand
that it's easy to unprotect the worksheet is you're trying to do it. I'm
beginnging to think maybe this user isn't as inexperienced as she thinks...
Thanks for your response and let me know if you think of anything else.
Thanks!

I have read that using Hotmail to send Excel workbooks can remove the sheet
protection.

Could this be the case here?

I can't replicate using Outlook and have no Hotmail account to test.

Hi, I have a client who created a workbook with a hidden, password protected
sheet included. She sent it out to a client of hers who then faxed back the
worksheets, including the password protected hidden sheet. This person
somehow unprotected the sheet. She claims this person is a novice user who
hardly knows his way around a computer. Is it possible to somehow
"accidentally" unprotect a workbook? Thanks for your help!
