Given the weakness of Excel security I would say there is no way to ensure that
sort of protection can be found.
The best you can do to keep out unsophisticated users is to use a workbook_open
event to grab the computer name and close the workbook if not that specific
machine.
This would require enabling macros and having a contingency plan in the case
macros were not enabled.
See John Walkenbach's site for some tips.

Hope someone can help.
Is there any way that a 'protection' can be put on an excel workbook,
that will allow that workbook to be run on a specific machine only?
