Workbook.Protect(Object, Object, Object) Method

Definition

Protects a workbook so that it cannot be modified.

public void Protect (object Password, object Structure, object Windows);
abstract member Protect : obj * obj * obj -> unit
Public Sub Protect (Optional Password As Object, Optional Structure As Object, Optional Windows As Object)

Parameters

Password
Object

A case-sensitive password for the workbook. If this argument is omitted, you can unprotect the workbook without using a password. Otherwise, you must specify the password to unprotect the workbook.

Structure
Object

true to protect the structure of the workbook (the relative position of the sheets). The default value is false.

Windows
Object

true to protect the workbook windows. If this argument is omitted, the windows are not protected.

Remarks

Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords do not mix these elements. For example, "Y6dh!et5" is a strong password, but "House27" is a weak password. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you do not have to write it down.

Optional Parameters
