Password Prompt With Read Only Option

Is there a way to password protect an Excel document, but allow for READ ONLY
access if the user doesn't know the password?

Just save the file as 'Read Only'
Go File > Save As > Tools (on the right of the dialogue box) > General
Options > Choose 'Password To Modify' > Follow the prompts for the password
and that's it done,
Regards,
Alan.

File|SaveAs|Tools|General Options
Give it a (memorable!) password to modify.

(Don't use the password to open.)
