Saves the workbook and protects it for sharing.

Syntax

expression.ProtectSharing (FileName, Password, WriteResPassword, ReadOnlyRecommended, CreateBackup, SharingPassword, FileFormat)

expression A variable that represents a Workbook object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
FileName	Optional	Variant	A string indicating the name of the saved file. You can include a full path; if you don't, Microsoft Excel saves the file in the current folder.
Password	Optional	Variant	A case-sensitive string indicating the protection password to be given to the file. Should be no longer than 15 characters.
WriteResPassword	Optional	Variant	A string indicating the write-reservation password for this file. If a file is saved with the password and the password isn't supplied when the file is opened, the file is opened read-only.
ReadOnlyRecommended	Optional	Variant	True to display a message when the file is opened, recommending that the file be opened read-only.
CreateBackup	Optional	Variant	True to create a backup file.
SharingPassword	Optional	Variant	A string indicating the password to be used to protect the file for sharing.
FileFormat	Optional	Variant	A string indicating the file format.

Remarks

Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements.

Strong password: Y6dh!et5
Weak password: House27

Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better. It's critical that you remember your password. If you forget your password, Microsoft cannot retrieve it. Store the passwords that you write down in a secure place away from the information that they help protect.

Example

    strPwd = InputBox("Enter password for the file") 
    strSharePwd = InputBox("Enter password for sharing") 
 
    wbAWB.ProtectSharing Password:=strPwd, _
