I am embarrassed to ask this, for I have done it before. I am simply trying
to protect the entire workbook with a password in excel 2000. Upon opening
the file, I want it to ask for a password. Thanks, Mike Allen
 
Mike-

Do "File---Save As"

When you are prompted where to save the file there will either be a
button in the box titled "Options", or a drop-down menu on the top
right of the screen labeled "Tools". If it is the drop-down....select
"General Options".

Once you click "Options" or "General Options" (I am using 2002 and I
can't recall how it is setup in 2000...2002 uses the "Tools" drop-down)
you will be prompted with a field to set the password for the file.
Set the password.....write it down....and click OK.
