Many thanks for replies.
It is only for security reasons alone - hence the other topic regarding
encryption of VBA...
thanks again. rock & a hard place springs to mind ;)

Yeah yeah someone might actually read my work...

If the operations conducted are too Secret to be known by Anyone Else then
make it entirely compiled standalone, don't depend on Office or any other
environmental thing. Office is not safe in the Safe meaning of the word,
it's fantastic for many things but not that. And also, take care, don't type
text constants in your code, they are readable in the raw compiled exe file
with a hex editor.

If however Security means Protecting My Own Great Code from prying eyes, ...
well, it has to be nothing but brilliant to be worth that extra effort.
Apologies for questioning this, but I've seen too many things protected
because of embarrassment or of hubris. Your/my/anyone's work is almost never
more valuable than what you will find in a free Google search, and if it is,
it's probably too specialized to have any value to the average Joe.

Best wishes Harald
