Hey Sascha (Gillies)
If you an archiving utility such as the awesome PowerArchiver (by
ConeXware Inc.) from <http://www.powerarchiver.com/> or even the
quite competent WinZip (by WinZip Computing) from
<http://www.winzip.com> installed on your PC, you could open the
Windows File Explorer (Windows Flag+E) right-click on the file in
question and encrypt it, deleting the remaining file and extracting
it for your use, as needed.
Otherwise, I'm thinking that there must be something like a
Tools > Protect document option, such as in Word 2000, into
which you can place a password, or (again from the Windows File
Explorer) you could use the properties for the file to make it
hidden to others.
Or you could release it to selected people as an access password
protected PDF, keeping the source file only on your C: drive, then
installing a BIOS password on your PC.
How do those options sound?
Cheers,
Michael

Subject: atw: Restricting Access to an Excel spreadsheet
Hi,
I want to restrict access to an Excel spreadsheet of usernames and =3D
passwords.
Is there an option in Excel to do this? I was thinking along the lines =3D=
of a password to allow access?
Am I missing something obvious?
