Impose Print & Email Restrictions?
I have an Excel workbook that I need to make available to others in my
workplace to view, but restrict their ability to fiddle with it - i.e make changes, email or print it. I have password protected the sheets to disallow editting, but can't find a ready-made option to restrict a viewer's ability to print or email it. Any ideas or solutions out there? Many thanks & regards Vibeke |

The short answer is you can't. Even the passwords you have added can be
cracked in under 5 minutes with code that is readily available on the net. Excel is not a secure environment and there is no effective way to make it secure. -- HTH...
