Default Excel Security

Has this ever been attempted?
On the topic of file security for Excel, would it be possible to place
a random generator formula in the Password Box on Excel and have i
generate the same number in the second Password Validation box.

Each time the file opens, the password would automatically changed to
new number. I know that once it is set up, even the developer would b
locked out. But in therory, this would be away to prevent the passwor
cracks from finding the most current password.

Please keep in mind, I am not a programmer, I only present this fro
someone that is standing out side of the box.

Just a thought.
