Hi

This is not directly related to excel... I have a folder in a shared drive
that contains some excel files. I need to quot;password protectquot; this folder so
that no one else except me has access to this folder or even
read/write/copy/delete any files contained in it... not even a read-only is
allowed. Possible?

Thx

Raj

Access to the folder will be dependent on the logged-in user. You'll need to
contact your network administrator with a list of the permissions you are
seeking.

Does that help?

No way that I could do it myself, eh, Ron? Something like just adding a
quot;confidential/No accessquot; property to the folder, just as we add a quot;read-onlyquot;
attribute to a file?

Thanks

gt; Sorry, no.
gt;
gt; Even making a file quot;read-onlyquot; is akin to putting up a quot;No trespassingquot;
gt; sign. Anybody can tear it down and march right in.
gt;
gt; The real security is at the network permissions level and is implemented by
gt; network admins. You might, however, ask for full-control rights on specific
gt; folders. With those rights, you would have permission to determine who can
gt; access the folders.
gt;
gt; Does that help?
