Hi all!

Im trying to hide some columbs in excel that i dont want a client to see but once ive hid the columbs if i then send the spreadsheet wont he just be able to highlight the columbs and unhide them? Is there anyway i can hide them without him being able to unhide them or is there another way i can solve my problem? Thank You!

Its ok ive found it, thanks for the help xlbo!!
 
Tools>Protecttion>Protect sheet. They won't be able to unhide the columns. Depending on version, there are also a number of options that you can allow the user to perform on a protected sheet.....XP has far more than any other version.
