Security discussion - how to effectively distribute an Excel file
Hello!
I would enjoy input into how people effectively distribute an Excel file to clients, that they can use without too much trouble. Here's my situation: I have an Excel file I've coded some macros for. I will be delivering it to my client tomorrow, for their review. They run Excel 2003, and I would like to set something up that they can use without too much hassle. Mainly, I would like to avoid having to reduce their security settings to use the file. Problem is, the file is a timesheet. Each user makes a copy of it, and then enters time information into it. My understanding of digital signatures has it that as soon as a user saves the file (with their entered time data), the digital signature will be removed, since I am no longer the only person to have worked on the file. And (I believe) that afterwards, they will be getting the security prompt once again, 'till the end of time. How is this type of situation dealt with? Obviously, a time sheet is not useful as a read-only file; users *have* to enter data and save it. How do the gurus deal with this type of situation? Regards, Remi. |
