Hiding SQL Connection String

What is the best way to hide a connection string in an Excel application ?

(1) Protect VBA Project - but it can be hacked.
(2) put connection string in an Add-In - but (1) still applies.

Any bright ideas?
BTW I have an ASP.NET version of the same app but I would like to distribute
the Excel version also.

Thanks,
Hiran
