Hi,

There is nothing wrong assuming you are setting the password in the Settings menu, Security, Module Password (it asks twice), then save and close, when you reopen the document, nothing happens. But when you try to get to the Module Editor (Ctrl + M) it prompts for the password. As its name says, Module password only protects the Module (macro) code, not the document.

Is there any other kind of password you want to set?

Hi Gidon,

Go to the Script Editor window, and in the File menu, Create a Hidden Script. That will ask you for a password, and will show you a new tab. You can create as many hidden tabs as you want. If you now copy your scripts in normal tabs to the hidden one and save and quit, the next time you open the document the charts and the information will be there, but the script will be hidden. You can now access to the hidden script in the File menu, Edit Hidden Script, make changes and quit.

Hope that helps.

Hello Gidon,

Once you have set the password for the hidden script, and once you are in the hidden script tab (it appears with a key icon) you can create another tab that will appear hidden as well.

Hope that helps.
