1        With your project open, select Protect Project from the File menu to display the Protect Project dialog box.

2        Enter a password in the Password field and then enter it again in the Confirm Password field.

3        Click OK. The project is now password protected.

4        Note: Once you have protected a file, any user is prompted for a password whenever the file is opened.0

To unprotect projects:

1        With your project open, select Unprotect from the File menu. The Password Required dialog box is displayed.

2        Enter the password and click OK. The project is now unprotected.
