Co-edit a pasword protected workbook

Hi,
How can I co-edit a password protected workbook when one of my colleagues has the file opened from a share point library.
We have tried many situations, but all in all the 2nd person that opens the file always fall into read only mode.

    Does it work if you put the file in a sharepoint library to which only you and that 2nd person have access to and then NOT password protect the file?

      JKPieterse Yeah, I think that this is the solution. I didn't move the file to a new library yet, but I removed the password from the workbook and this seems to solve the problem. I will see with my colleagues if it is really necessary to restrain the access to certain users only and we will move the file consequently if that is the case.
