Indeed, Excel's security, all all security for all Office components, is
pretty feeble. Access is ok, but still crackable if you know what you're
doing. I've heard that .NET has very good security. I can't vouch for it
though. I'm just now starting to learn it myself. As for your original
question about Excel, quite simply no; it can't be protected with any degree
of confidence.

Hi,

There is no secure way of doing either of those things relying on Excel
security, anyone with sufficient determination and Google will quickly remove
all your passwords despite 'workbook open' and 'code module' passwords being
more secure than workbook/worksheet.

Hi.

i Do some programming and external work with excel and i want to prevent 2
things:
1- someone from opening the worksheet without password.
2- someone not paying what the own for the job. and for this i have to
protect the code too!

is there a way to enforce this? there are some programs that claim to break
any and every password in excel..

thanks
