Excel - read only / pdf ?

Hi i am putting a holiday excel on a shared server (my office) however i want it to only be read only therefore tamper-proof. i have followed the HELP read-only steps but it does'nt seem to work.. and i can still edit the work book. any ideas on how to make the holiday workbook tamper-proof??

THANKS

The suggetion (from slez) to use sheet protection is probably the least annoying option. No pop-ups and such.

Alternatively, you can protect the entire book using the save-as options. In Windows, when you select save as and the window pops up asking for the file name, there's a little known "tools" option in the top right. In there, under "general options" you can specify whether the user needs a password to modify or even open the book at all. Choose "password to modify" and the user will be asked for a password and told it's read-only when they don't have one.

Tools -> Protection -> Protect Sheet

Then you can enter a password to lock the sheet. No one can change it unless they go back to Protect Sheet and enter the password.
