I have a .xls file that is very important and that I don't want anyone
messing with. However, my people need this .xls file for a Borland Delphi
application that interfaces with Excel via a TExcelApplication class. So I
have to put this Excel file on everyones' machines so my Borland application
can interact with it, but I don't want anyone else touching it or anything. I
can't just mark these .xls files as read-only because then surely some bright
spark will open Excel and unmark the file as read-only and then proceed to go
to town on it. On the other hand, I can't password protect the .xls file
because then Borland Delphi will be unable to communicate with it (I'm pretty
sure. I haven't tried this, you understand. I'm just hypothesizing here.)
What do you guys recommend?
