Default Excel Security


thanks for the advice i dont really care if someone hacks it because its
such a large program that i would only give it to potential buyers and
the program is copyright to me. Plus to access a trial they have to
sign an agreement written by my solictor to not distrubute the software
or reproduce. However my solictor says that i cannot put a time limit on
the agreement with my potential buyer as my program does not have a time
limit therefore once they sign to a trial its there for ever as a trial.
However me solictor says that if the program informs them of "trial"
period and they hack it they have breached copyright laws. So forgive
my rudeness but the question i pose is. hackable or not (nothing is
ever safe) I need a time limit or a non-excel program to put a time
limit on the workbook even if it is not 100% proof. It just simply
needs to work. I will check out John Walkenbach thanks for the advice.
