this for multiple workbooks instead of for each individual one?

You are better off to lock down directories than to lock individual files.
Files must be done 1 at a time. There are commercial services that cna hack
the passwords for a fee. If you need to change the access you need to change
the password on all files. Directory access is much more secure and easier to
impliment.
