I have a file that I need to remove the password. I know the password, but
it gets annoying having to type it in every time I open the file. I have
been to the Tools + Protection, but there is no unprotect workbook.
Suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Age

The open password is set in the File > SaveAs menu, button Tools, menu
General Options.

Or somewhere else, this is version and language dependent.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Sounds like a file password. Checkout File>Save As>Tools>General Options
and see if Password to Open has been set. If so, delete it.
 
Do a File;Save As, then click on Tools;General Options and remove the
password. This is for XP. If you have another version, the exact buttons you
click may be different.
