If you can find a suitable encryption/decryption algorithm which uses a
passphrase not stored in the workbook (you would have to enter it manually in each session) then that might work. It really depends on how secure you need the information to be. As Tom notes, just controlling access to the file might be enough for your situation. Tim. -- Tim Williams Palo Alto, CA "Lydon Bergin" wrote in message ... "Tim Williams" <timjwilliams at gmail dot com wrote in message ... You should not rely on Excel security when storing "sensitive" information. Workbook/worksheet/VBA project passwords are all easily cracked by anyone who knows enough to google for the method. If your encryption/decryption method is implemented in VBA then it would also be accessible to anyone who obtained your file, and they could use your routine to decrypt the data. Tim Any idea how (besides saving to a database) I can save this information securely? Lydon D. Bergin MCP, MOS |
