Default Is there a way (encryption type) to really protect my workshee

Again, you can do everything that you proposed to do, but all your effort
will be quickly undone by anyone who is very proficient in Excel. You can
keep the casual user at bay, but with enough will and determination, anyone
can crack into you Excel file. Nothing is secure in Excel-world!! Bottom
line!!

Thank you all for your advice...

Perhaps with some other way besides strong and viseble security i can
protect my work...
Is there a way to hide procedures or any kind of code inside vba? some
thought about that??

Any one with other ideas is welcome to say something!! :-)

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 mike.

Do you advise any software or have any solution for this?

Thanks

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
