Excel password

[Roberts]

Ever have one of those excel spreadsheets that is password protected so you can't manipulate the data?

This is free and will take care of it.

I have an excel spreadsheet that does financial planning and always wanted to manipulate some of the wording and include some information. This is a nice find for me. It took the program 31 seconds to hack the password!

Note: if the spreadsheet is totally locked so you can't open it - this doesn't work.

and this is a tax issue rather than an accounting issue, because.......taxea

for me, it's both a tax and an accounting issue because I use Excel spreadhsheets extensively in both sides of my practice.

Always Happy

I am always happy and grateful when another TMI poster passes on info regardless or not whether it actually pertains to taxes and/or accounting. Every little tidbit assists us in all of the facets of our business.

We not only have to have the knowledge and professionalism in Taxes and Accounting, but have also been technology challenged in computers, software, etc.

Thank you Roberts for sharing!

Thank you

Thank you very much. I also think this helps us, tax or not. How many times has a client brought you an Excel spreadsheet without the password? Now, if you hear of a program that'll unlock a QB file when the client failed to leave you his password...
