MS-DOS

Summary:

If you attempt to save a Microsoft Multiplan worksheet with a password in Symbolic or Chart format, the error message “Not a Valid Option” will be displayed. This is by program design.

More Information:

You can only save worksheets with a password in the following formats:


 * Normal
 * Excel
 * Other

If you want to save a worksheet with a password, you will have to change the Transfer Save “protected:” field to Yes because it resets to the default mode (unprotected save) each time you save a worksheet. It is designed this way because it is assumed that most people will only occasionally save work with a password.
