Default Compiling an Excel Spreadsheet

Some time ago, there was a program called Baler which
could compile a Lotus spreadsheet into an EXE file. The
point was, you now didn't need Lotus to run the
spreadsheet and the formulas in the spreadsheet were
completely protected.

I would like to know if there is a program that can do
the same thing with an Excel spreadsheet. Baler is now
known as Visual Baler and you need to convert (save) an
Excel spreadsheet as a Lotus file and import it into
Visual Baler, but there are some problems, one of which
is that any VBA routines will not port over. My Excel
spreadsheet has a large number of VBA routines and I'd
prefer not to have to rewrite them over in Visual Baler.

The reason I am pursuing this tact is that I want to be
absolutely sure my spreadsheet (with VBA routines) can
not be compromised. I understand that I can protect my
spreadsheet, but I understand this option is not perfect.

Thank you for your time.
