Default Prevent File Copying

Does anyone know a way to prevent users from copying an
Excel file using Windows Explorer? I can prevent Save
and Save As from within the GUI, but not from outside.

Thanks!

Default Prevent File Copying

Hi

Not possible within the file (or the Excel app). Best you can do there is
make the file useless without a certain set of
passwords/macros/environment/...

HTH. Best wishes Harald
