Can a template be copy protected?
 

I have an Excel template that I have created and I want to market it. I
want to make it available only by download and I want it to only be used
on the computer that downloads it. I know this is possible with
applications but I want to do this with the template. How can this
copy protection be applied to a template?

Can a template be copy protected?
 

Good morning Videomag

It can't be done I'm afraid. You could use VBA to make it tricky i
you don't mind inconveniencing legitimate users, but there is nothin
that can't be circumvented by a knowledgable user - they don't have t
be an expert. A recent thread concerns this very topic.
