Good morning P Evetts

Can't be done I'm afraid. Excel is not secure, and has never been
advertised as such. There are a number of security settings within
Excel that offer protection against inadvertant erasure / change of
information. If you have something that shouldn't be seen by others,
don't save it in Excel. If you really really must, I suppose you could
use a third party program to encrypt / decrypt the file prior to opening
it...

A pain in the arse, but that's Excel for you.
