I am in need to password protect excel file.That means when user tries to open excel he/she should be asked for password.

I am using apache poi but it seems like it does't have such option.

Thanks in advance.

  • As i told I am using Apache POI there is some thing sheet.protectSheet("password") which makes sheet read only but there is nothing which solves my requirement. – jai shukla Dec 09 '13 at 14:43
