Hi,

I am using Excel 97.

I have saved a file with password protection to read the
file.

If I start the excel program and open the file from there,
it works fine, ie. I have to enter password. But if I
simply open the file through Windows explorer, the system
simply open the file as if no password protected.

Kindly reply if you have a solution.

Thanks alot,
Leow
 
How did you protect the file?

My guess:

You have two files with the same name in different folders.

One is password protected and the other isn't.
