Share Excel File that is password protected

Hello all
I have published a workbook in our shared area at work. It's massive and also has another workbook linked to it.
Both are password protected so are only available for viewing. But tons of people need to see them particularly the source file which is no problem because they can't change anything so can choose 'read only'.
However the problem is when I need to go in there to make a couple of alteration, I have to wait until they close it or of course as is typical, they will leave their desk and forget to close it!!
I haven't used the sharing workbook option although I've tried it and shown one of our departments to use it basically.
I was wondering if this would be possible on a file that is password protected and is locked on every sheet.
That way I can just go in when I need to even if someone's in there.
This is an extremely important file that
can not go wrong. (I do have a backup)
What are your views on this option and what is the best way to go about it?
Thanks

Hi,
Would you like to tell me which Excel version are you using? According to your description, I recommend we try the two methods:
Method 1:
Excel has a feature "Protected the sheet", we can assign the different password to each sheet.
For more detail information, please refer to the following link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/password-protect-worksheet-or-workbook-elements-HP010078580.aspx
Method 2:
Share the Excel workbook, and assign the edit range/permission to users. We can allow specific users to edit ranges in Excel. Here is the steps:
Click 'Review', 'Allow Users to Edit Ranges','New'. In 'Title', enter the name. In 'Refers to cells', enter an equal sign (=) and enter the reference. In 'Range password', enter password. Click 'Permissions'. Click 'Add'. Enter the name. Click 'Protect Sheet',
enter password. Click 'OK'.

Will numbers open an excel file that is password protected? Xlsx latest ms excel?

No. None of the iWork apps on any platform will open a password-protected Office file. You have to remove the password in Office first.

SAP version 4.7 Email pdf file that is password protected.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement:
Email pdf file that is password protected.
Once the user receives the email, clicks on the attached pdf file,
     it should ask the password. Note that Password value should come from SAP.
What we have done is get the spool number and by using function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, it converts the spool document to pdf.
On this function module, there are no parameters to make pdf as password protected and
also include the password. This is the problem.
Question:
   (a) Is there a way to make pdf password protected that will be emailed?
        What function modules, etc to be used? (sample coding if available)
   (b) Somebody mentioned the that Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server should be installed together with SAP.
        If this is installed, how then would be the abap coding be in order to make the pdf password
            protected?
        How is the new policy server gonna be linked to SAP and how do the abap coding gonna be?
           (sample abap coding if available)
Thanks.

OLE2 Excel File Save as password protected

Hi All,

Besi

Hello Besi,
The following code should work. Try it out.
CALL METHOD OF document 'Protect' EXPORTING
                         #1 = 2
                         #2 = -1
                         #3 = 'password'.
CALL METHOD OF documents 'Save'.
Here 'document' is the 'ActiveDocument' object.
How to get the 'document' object:
    CREATE OBJECT worddoc 'Word.Document'.
    GET PROPERTY OF worddoc 'Application' = wordapp.
GET PROPERTY OF wordapp 'ActiveDocument' = document.

Numbers can't open excel files that requires a password

How can I open an excel file that requires a password? I recently purchased the 'Numbers' program and I get an error message saying that Numbers cannot open an encrypted file. However, I can open and view the file (but not edit).
Apple needs to fix this!
Any suggestions on how to open a password protected file using Numbers?
Thanks,
Curtis

Thanks
I compared the beginning of your file to the beginning of two XL ones which are on my machine (in fact, they are files created with openOffice).
You may see that there are many differences.
They may explain the different behaviour.
If someone is able to drive Excel with an AppleScript,
he may write a script opening your document in Excel,
saving it
opening the newly saved file in Numbers.
As I don't own Excel, I ignore its required syntax so I can't write a clean script.
If the XL's syntax is the same than the Numbers one, this quick and dirty one may do the trick :
set aFile to (path to desktop as text) & "Treatment Report No Header.xls"
tell application "System Events"
set aName to name of disk item aFile
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
open file aFile
save document 1 (* maybe save document aName *)
close document 1 (* maybe close document aName *)
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
open aFile
end tell

Why is Get File Type.vi password protected

Hi... We have a code that was developed in LabVIEW 8.6... We have a need to attempt to save this code all the way back to version 7.1... I saved it back from 8.6 --> 8.5 --> 8.2.1 --> 8.0 with no issues... But when I then try to save it back from 8.0 to 7.1 I encounter one LabVIEW 8 vi that has no equivalent functionality in 7.1... And that one vi is
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.x\vi.lib\Utility\lvfile.llb\Get File Type.vi
When I look at that vi in 8.x, to endeavor to see if I can replace its functionality by writing some code in 7.1, I find that the Get File Type.vi is password protected... More out of curiousity than anything, why is that code password protected??? I wasn't aware that any of the standard purchased LabVIEW code came password protected... Can anyone tell me why that is??? thanks... bob..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That VI is using an internal callback into LabVIEW (i.e. non G-based code) to determine the type of the file. I'm guessing the callback doesn't exist in 7.1, so you would need to write your own G-based implementation for getting the type of a file in the 7.1 case. The simplest solution would be to work with the extensions of the files...not perfect, but probably close enough assuming your files are well-named. Also, the following VI can give you a bit more information about LabVIEW-specific files (independent of extension):
LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\Utility\libraryn.llb\Librarian Get Info.vi

I want to share a file that is 500 meg (video) can this be done via iCloud?

yes, my kids live 30 to 50 ,lies away and my brother in law 300 miles.
You get the ip address of the TC using airport utility. Don't use the local lan number such as 10.0.3.12
Using the Finder go to the top of the Desktop and select Go then connect to server, type afp://that ip number , leave the user name alone and type in password. The TC hard drive should show on the Desktop.
You have to set it up first using Airport Utility: launch it and go to the Disks tab. Check box enable file sharing and share disks over wan, choose secure disk with a password and type in your password. The other person will need to know the password.
You can now copy files over to the TC i.e. upload and download files.

Saving to a folder that is password protected

I've got a script that saves artwork to a public folder but I also need a script that saves the artwork to a folder that is password protected. The username and password is something I would need illustrator to be able to type in before saving is there an option for that? I can't find anything on this anywhere so I'm not sure that it is even a possibility.

Silly-V's suggestion is viable but could even be expanded to monitoring the interim folder in the background and moving them immediately. It may be better, however, to address the core need rather than treat symptoms. Not trying to be funny here, but who is saving the artwork if everyone's at a meeting anyway? Nonetheless, I work on this kind of thing all the time but need some more background. Given the possible sensitive nature of your setup, feel free to PM me if you would like and we'll see what we can do. Once resolved, if possible, you can elaborate publicly on the remedy if you'd like for the benefit of the community.

I have a old excel file that does not show hiding cell boxes on my Mac.

I have a old excel file that has some hiding info. in some of the cell boxes. I can not see them on my Mac computers. When I click on the cells to see the hidden info. it does not show up.

Are you using Mac OSX version of Excel or the Windows version of Excel? Regardless being specific to Excel, it would be best to ask in the Microsoft Office forums.

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.
