That would be fantastic. Nowadays I am trying to invoke an external VB
application just to set a password on a file. I would be happy even with
opening Excel 2003 files with passwords:)

Yes but I think that was for the binary file format not the OpenXML one and I
do not know how much work has been undertaken yet; of course, I could very
well be wrong again and that was why I said to wait for another reply before
trusting what I had to say.

As far as I am aware, this is not possible. It has more to do with the fact
that password protected workbooks are usually encrypted. The encryption
algorithm is proprietary and thus it is very hard to create the tools to
decrypt the same.
Hopefully, it I am mistaken, someone else will post a reply soon.
