Hi all,

I need to exchange encrypted, password protected Excel 2007 files with my vendor. I need to:

1. Encrypt my Excel 2007 file and send it to my vendor, and have him open the file (with the password).

2. My vendor needs to encrypt an Excel 2007 file and send it to me.

Problem is I have Excel 2007 but my vendor only has Excel 2003. Besides getting the vendor to buy 2007, is there any way around it? Also, I don't want to use Excel 2003 encryption cos I hear it's not as secure as 2007.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
