How do I prevent hidden columns from being revealed by another use
If I create an estimate using confidential information ( i.e. markup %) and
send the file to my client after hiding that column, how do I prevent him/her from unhiding and seeing the condifdential info? |

Hi archie
you could protect the worksheet - this will stop the hidden columns being unhidden unless the protection is remove (or cracked) however, as it's relatively easy to crack worksheet protection i personally would make a copy of my worksheet WITHOUT the information in it that i didn't want the client to see and send that to them.

Thanks JulieD. I having been doing the copying approach but hoped there
would be something more direct.

hi archie
well you could write vba code to do the copying for you, which would probably speed things up, but i certainly wouldn't rely on excel's protection to keep the information "hidden".
