    Set as read only with password for updates

    Hello,

    Could someone let me know if it possible to set an excel spreadsheet to have 'write access' for myself, but 'read only' access for other people, unless they enter a password to be able to edit?

    Many thanks

    Hi,

    Yes,

    When you next save the workbook use the 'Save As' option, in the 'Tools' drop down select 'General Options', set a password in the 'Modify' box and tick the 'Read Only' option
