Hi Alexander,

It's not possible to do this with an Excel workbook.

If this is an Excel
application, the user must have Excel installed in order

to run it. There's
no run-time version of Excel like there is with Access.

If you just have a
workbook that you want to protect from modifications, I'd

recommend creating
a .pdf file from it.
