Password protecting file (modifying) with a slight twist

Hi all,

I've used 'Save As' > 'Tools' > 'General Options' and set a password to
modify. ONe slight issue that I have is that someone can open the file
read-only, then 'Save As' another filename and the password protection
disappears. Maybe there's another way?

Here's a little background: I have a master file that has the password
protection, and from this other copies are made for seperate projects. I need
each of these to also have the password protection as only a few people need
write access.... this isn't a problem if the file is copied/pasted via the
folder itself, but using 'Save As' gets around this.

Cheers for any help!

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I've just tried this but I'm afraid it doesn't work.
The password protection still disappears when saved as a new filename.
