Hey Guys,

Our company is using sharepoint, so we no longer need to keep passwords on our excel files. Also, we just recently upgraded from 03 to 07. However, we can't find out how to remove the workbook password in excel 07. To be clear, Im not talking about the password to let you edit items in the sheets and what not. Im talking about the password you are prompted for BEFORE the workbook is even opened! It will say "test.xls is reserved by JSA715 Enter password for write access, or open read only."

I've tried all of the password options under the review tab, none of them work.

HELP!:eek:

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Save as:
Tools (at the bottom left of the window)
from there you should be ok.

Is that what you need?

Was this a joke to them? Did they intend to hide this so well? Did they not want people to use this function? How did you find this? Are you a MS Programmer? Mr Gates is on MrExcel!?!?

Ok, I'm good now.

thank you.
