Making single-use spreadsheets, akin to copyright?
....and I thought viruses were a bad thing
"FSt1" wrote: hi, no. distrubuting a spreadsheet is like distrubuting a paper report. users can make copies and pass them around. you have control so long as the file is in your PC. but once the file has left your PC, it is public domain. years ago i wrote a virus to delete all data in a file and direct users of contact the file's creator for udated infor and every MVP that read my post jumped on me with both feet. If you distrubute a file, then you have distrubuited a file and it is public domain. regards FSt1 "Tom Mackay" wrote: Are there easy/any ways to take a spreadsheet and distribute it to individual users that ensures those users cannot re-distribute it to other users themselves? If anyone knows any other implications of creating spreadhseets for commercial use and distribution, I 'd appreciate hearing about it. I am just beginning my research in this area... Much appreciated, Tom |
