MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2007Encryption software
I am looking for software to encrypt (mainly excel) files. This is to keep away prying eyes rather than international spies so it doesn't need to be particularly strong. Something free / Open Source would be particularly attractive. I should appreciate recommendations from users of such software. Thanks. Bill Ridgeway If it's just one file, how about just applying a password when you do File|SaveAs? > I am looking for software to encrypt (mainly excel) files.

It is more than one file. Password protection is VERY easy to crack and, therefore, I was looking for something that potentially gave somewhat more protection. Regards.

You should be able to find some snippets of VBA to run a list doing this. Or you could look at EFS (Encrypting File System) in Win XP. Cheers Simon Blog: www.smurfonspreadsheets.net > Thanks Dave.

Office Button/Prepare/Encrypt Document. Select a strong password. The files can be opened only by Excel 2007 and not any earlier version. Just make sure you don't forget your password!! > Thanks Dave. It is more than one file.
