How can I password protect a particular column?

[Shamim]

I want to hide a column and protect it by a password, so that people may work
on (edit) in other columns and rows with out being able to unhide my hidden
column.
Is that possible?
pls email me: [email protected]
or [email protected]
Thanks

You can hide that column then protect the worksheet with a password.

First unlock all cells in the sheet, then lock the column to hide.

Now hide the column.

Tools>Protection>Protect Sheet with a password.

Note: Excel's interanl security is very weak and passwords easily broken.
