Default Excel: Password Protection
A coworker sent me some Excel files. I saved them to a folder, but when I try and open them, it says they are reserved for this person and I need to enter the password or they will be read-only. She gave me the password and it works, but how do I turn off the prompt when it opens? I went to Tools -> Protection and looked at the options, but I don't see anything to disable. I'm sure it is something obvious I'm overlooking. Thanks.
