Default convert .xls file to .exe file

I am completing a software package which consists of an Excel workbook with
Visual Basic macros which do many calculations to analyze the performance of
natural gas wells. The size of the workbook is about 6 MB and it contains
about 25 pages of VB macros.

The software protection security systems that I have found so far seem to be
limited to .exe or .dll files. Do I need to somehow convert the software to
an .exe file? If so, how do I do that? I would like to preserve the Excel
spreadsheet features to the extent possible.

You can't do that.

Chip,
Thanks for the very prompt answer. It soundwslike I need to find a security
system that will protect the macros from piracy.
