How can I make Excel remind me to protect a workbook before I close it?
Several people have read access but I need to edit. I have the workbook
protected but am afraid I won't always remember to put the password back on
after I'm done.
 
Not sure what you want to protect.

Protecting the worksheet under Tools>Protection will stop users from editing as
will setting the workbook to read-only.

Do you want to place a password to open the file?

If so, this does not have to be re-done each time you save or close the file.

Post back with more detail about what you actually want to protect.
