protect from copying!?
 
I have protected my sheet and workbook, but is there a way to prevent copying?

Please advise

Hello Kai-

That should be no problem, but it depends on which version of Excel. Please
post back with more info. |:)

Do you mean copying the workbook, worksheet, cells on the worksheet or what?

But no matter what, you really can't protect your stuff from being copied. I
would bet anything you would try would depend on a macro--and macros can be
disabled.

You may be able to stop the casual user, but I bet the dedicated will find a way
to copy your stuff.
