Hi! Aditi

Following are the steps to create a password protected file. You could use Windows Automation.

1. Select **File** \> **Info**.
2. Select the **Protect Workbook** box and choose **Encrypt with Password.**
3. Enter a password in the **Password** box, and then select **OK**.
4. Confirm the password in the **Reenter Password** box, and then select **OK**.
