SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, you can change the document properties of a protected
workbook through a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro, even
though you cannot change the document properties manually.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
To bring up the <document> Properties dialog box (where <document> is the
name of your document), click Properties on the File menu. To protect your
workbook, click Protection on the Tools menu, and then click Protect
Workbook. When you protect the structure of the workbook, the Properties
command on the File menu becomes unavailable.
