Balaji_B2019 The above thread deals with removing or changing a password to open a workbook. There is no button for it. As mentioned above, it is part of the "Save as" process. But allow me to expand my previous response. On a Mac: File, Save as, Options. On Windows: File, Save as, More options, Tools, General options.

Then I had to figure out to leave the password field blank! Anyway - Big Help - Thank you!
