MrGroove
I tried it again. I am prompted to enter password before opening the file and this works fine. Thank you.
How ever when prompted for the editing password with the option of read only i chose read only. I can still edit and alter the document without entering the password and choosing read only. Can you enlighten me please?

I have tried all the options, password to open and password to modify and both at the same time with different passwords for each option and mailed as a attachment the document to another e-mail address (to test this). Yet i had access to edit etc and was not prompt for a password? I followed the instructions above….what am i doing wrong??
