Can I prevent a spreadsheet from being copied?
I'm going to publish a retirement nest egg calculator to the web and want to
know if I can prevent buyers from copying it, or if I can restrict them to being only able to use it on one computer. I plan to supply any purcashed copies by email. Thanks, George Forbes |

This needs a lot of creative, part evil, VBA programming, and you must ensure that macros are enabled for the file to work. Very complicated. HTH.

Copy protection can be a real hassle, both for the seller and the buyer. How much are you planning to charge for this calculator? Bill |
