The police will still be able to get in there when they catch you#

You can't, you'll have to alter the permissions on it.

I assume you mean a computer folder.
If you mean, like, a lever arch or something, just pop a little padlock on it.

Yes you can.

Just password protect some excel sheets. well, quite a lot of them.
I will have a try adding a password again but sure it didnt let me before. I might compress the folder and do it that way.

Yeah but to do what, restrict them to a few users on a share? Email them?
What what what.

File - Info - Protect Workbook - Encrypt with Password for protecting spreadsheets, by the way.

Just to put a password in to view really for security.
It doesn't seems to let you do this for comma delimited csv files :(

Can't you zip it and password protect it or something?
How 'protected' does it need to be? Dozer level?
