Parameters
Filename
Type: System.ObjectThe name of the saved file. You can include a full path; if you do not, Microsoft Office Excel saves the file in the current folder.
Password

WriteResPassword
Type: System.ObjectThe write-reservation password for this file. If a file is saved with the password and the password is not supplied when the file is opened, the file is opened read-only.
ReadOnlyRecommended
Type: System.Objecttrue to display a message when the file is opened, recommending that the file be opened read-only.
CreateBackup
Type: System.Objecttrue to create a backup file.
SharingPassword
Type: System.ObjectThe password to be used to protect the file for sharing.
Remarks
Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords do not mix these elements. For example, "Y6dh!et5" is a strong password, but "House27" is a weak password. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you do not have to write it down.
