xlSheetVeryhidden - still option to copy if you know the name of the sheet!
 

Hi,
I am using xlSheetVeryHidden to hide sheets with sensitive data fro
user. But if the user knows the name of the sheet, he can simply acces
the data by referencing to the hidden sheet, e.g

=hiddenSheet!A1

Does anybody know a way to prevent this

I guess you could encrypt what's on the vh sheet

Sensitive data in an Excel file are simply not safe. Remove them from the
file or assume that a skillful person can get to them. (Most companies does
usually not have more than 2-3 skillfull persons though :-)
