    Exclamation Saving / Password protecting Macro-Enabled work book

    Hi All,
    I Have a macro enabled workbook and i am trying to set it that only people with the password can open the file, I can set the password for modifying the file but when i set it for opening the file, i get this message;

    "This workbook contains Excel 4.0 macros or Excel 5.0 modules. If you would like to password protect or restrict permission to this document, you need to remove these macros."

    But i cannot remove these macros as they are integral to the sheet...!!!

    Please help!!!

    i am having the same problem. i had to convert the file from an .xls to an .xslm in order to get it to open in Excel 2010. But after converting it i am unable to password protect it to prevent it from being opened.

    Any suggestions ?
