"Workbook is protected and cannot be changed" or Excel workbook is locked

Hi everyone,

I know some of you out there have hit this problem in the past and now we have a workaround...

If you try to add/remove/modify a worksheet in the Xcelsius embedded Excel and you get this message Workbook is protected and cannot be changed but you did NOT lock the workbook.

The devepoment team is going to see if we can stop this from happening in the future but for now here is a workaround you can use:

1. Start to unprotect the workbook:

    Office 2007 (Ribbon menu in Xcelsius or Excel). Select Review > Protect Workbook > Protect Structure and Windows.

    Office 2003 (menu only in Excel). Select Tools > Protection > Unprotect Workbook.

2.  You will be prompted for a password.

3.  This is the password (the O is an uppercase o):

      fazOh1+u

4.  Click OK and the spreadsheet should no longer be locked.

Regards

Matt
