Hi All,

I wish the Excel programm - My Workbook like CD push
to sale.
The question: If possible the File protect (like Password) through the
extern USB Stick - Crypto modul.

If yes, what must be the VBA protocol.

sory - my English

Thank You very much
Fidele

The password protection on an Excel file has been shown to be easily
cracked, and the file would need to at least be opened for any VBA to run.

So, there's not much to be gained by requiring a "dongle" (hardware-based
key protection). The only sure approach is to port your main code to a dll
and distribute that.

Unless I misunderstood your question.

That's what I thought you meant. My point was that an Excel/VBA application
is itself not secu there is little to stop someone "decompiling" your
Excel file and a dongle will not prevent that.
