We have an Excel file we are saving in a CSV format and e-mailing. Is there
anyway to Password Protect with Excel? Thanks!
 
I think you're going to have to encrypt the file externally, perhaps using a
zipping program like Winzip.
 
The only difference between a .csv and a .txt file (with a similar layout of
all variables separated by comma's) is the file extension. You can even
change the extension manually from .csv to .txt and open it directly from a
text editor. For this reason you can't encrypt it without converting it to,
for example, .xls
 
That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you for your help!
