Default Encryption

You should not rely on Excel security when storing "sensitive"
information.
Workbook/worksheet/VBA project passwords are all easily cracked by anyone
who knows enough to google for the method.

If your encryption/decryption method is implemented in VBA then it would
also be accessible to anyone who obtained your file, and they could use
your
routine to decrypt the data.

Any idea how (besides saving to a database) I can save this information
securely?
