Does xlsread have any trouble reading protected excel sheets?

There is a very old file in the File Exchange that claims to be able to protect/unprotect Excel files: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/6046-xlsprotect

Here is a thread on the older MATLAB newsgroup forum about this function: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/98978

MATLAB: How to rename a sheet in Excel using the COM interface in MATLAB

You can rename an Excel sheet using the "Name" property of a sheet object. For example the following renames the first sheet of an Excel file:

filename = 'C:\SomeExcelFile.xls';
% Open Excel Automation server
Excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
% Make Excel visible
Excel.Visible=1;
% Open Excel file
Workbook = Excel.Workbooks.Open(filename);
% Get the list of sheets in the workbook
Sheets = Excel.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets;
% Rename the first sheet
Sheets.Item(1).Name = 'This is sheet 1';

The following code then saves the Workbook, quits Excel and removes the COM server:

% Save the file
Workbook.Save();
% Quit Excel, remove the COM server and delete the related objects
Excel.Quit();
Excel.delete();
clear Excel;
clear Workbook;
clear Sheets;

MATLAB: Account sign in window pops up when files are stored on onedrive using actxserver with Workbooks.Open

After I unticked file collaboration in the onedrive settings it works :)
