password protection popup

[Guldo K]

Hello.
I've created an xlt file with some code and forms in it.
It works fine.
Last thing I've done is to protect the code from viewing, by setting a
password for the project.
Now, whenever I close the xlt file, everything's fine;
but when, afterwards, I close excel, a dialog pops up asking for the
project password... many times... (6 I think).

Why?
I really can't think of a reason why...
I've searched the web with no luck...

Thanks ^^

p.s.: this happens with xls files based on that xlt, too.
p.p.s.: this happens on different versions of excel; I've created the
file using office 2002, and I've tested it on office 2000.
Same odd behaviour.

Do you have the google desktop installed? I may be misremembering, but it
seems like this was one of the problems this addin could cause.

Read through the whole thread as there is a registry fix which might fix it
so you don't have to uninstall it.

Thanks to *Tom Ogilvy* for his reply.
I can't understand why I cannot see it using my news reader...
(I noticed on the web)

Anyway: no, I have no google desktop installed.
Any other guess?
