How do I prevent an excel attachment being forwarded on by email?
I want to send an excel document as an attachment to an email.
I want to make two security features: 1. I dont want the recipitent to be able to edit, change or modify the data in the workbook. 2. I dont want the recipitent to be able to forward the excel document onward by email again. Please advise |

You could protect the workbook and put a password on it that only you know
for the first one. Another way would be to create a PDF of the document, but you'd need to have a PDF writer and not everyone has that. I do not know of a way to prevent people from forwarding mail that has been sent to them. "pc7776" wrote: I want to send an excel document as an attachment to an email.

#1. I don't think you can do it. Excel's security (tools|Protection) is not
made for this type of thing. It's easily broken. Maybe sending the report in a different type of file, like a picture (.jpg) would be better. #2. I don't think that this is possible with any file format. pc7776 wrote: I want to send an excel document as an attachment to an email. I want to make two security features: 1.
