What page no longer exists? Perhaps I can send you a copy.
Why would you not be able to buy the software (via Internet)?
I also live in Asia.

If your pocket money or your Dad won’t cover the cost of software, the following web site provides a FREE macro for finding out a worksheet's password :-

Here is the correct link to the CRACKER

Celia,

He is right.

The HTML file that links to file you suggest has been removed.

BUT, you can get the file direct by including the file name in the URL:

Good luck Desperado!
