Hi folks!

Let's say I work in Excel 2002 and I protect my workbook using the "Protect
and Share Workbook..." functionnality (or any other). Will my workbook be
protected if I open it in Excel 97?

TIA! :O)
 
This may not apply in your situation but the only problem I had in this
regard was protecting VBA projects.
I protected an xl2k project and attempted to edit it in xl97. It
wouldn't allow me to open the project or even allow me to enter a
password.
Evidently it is because of the encryption methods used (xl2k being more
"robust" than '97).

Again, this only applied to VBA projects but I thought it may be of
interest.
