Sherees,

Additional to Micky's answer you should be aware that while the suggested
method will deter the honest anyone with Google and the desire to do so could
open your VB project quite easilly.

VB project protection is better than worksheet protection but is easilly
defeated.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

The real solution is expensive. You need an Excel compiler,
e.g.http://www.doneex.com/

You can Google for others.
