protecting the schedule

[Jason]

hello,
there are a few Project Managers at my work who need to be able to view the
schedules. I'm trying to protect the Project Schedule, so that they cannot
modify it. I went to Save As -> Tools -> General Options and set passwords
and clicked on read only. When I re-open it suggests it to be read only, but
when I click "No", it does not require a password and takes me right in,
letting me modify everything. What can I do?

Thank you

You have set it to "read only recommended".
If you want to really make it read-only you need to set a "Write reservation
password"
That dialog box is quite poorly written.

i set it to "read only recommended". But, it's useless. Once re-opened, yes
it suggests to be read only, but if you click no instead of yes, you are free
to do anything and it does not ask you for password.

Do NOT set it to read only recommended.
To password protect the read only status you MUST set a "Write reservation"
password.
