Default Compiling a workbook...

There is no way to compile a workbook as an executable if that is what you
are talking about. You can password protect the workbook. You can password
protect your code and you can make the workbook an addin. Any password
approach can probably be broken with existing software password crackers.
In all cases, to work with an excel workbook you would probably need excel
installed.

om...
Is it possible to compile an Excel 2000 workbook similar to how Access
creates an MDE file which removes the code and ensures the project
won't uncompile? I saw a few older threads that said it couldn't be
done but it seemed like they were referring to '97. I have a feeling
this can't be done but I thought I'd ask just in case.
