Default Only opening a workbook by User Name or Machine Name???


Hi all, is there a way of capturing either the User name or Machine name
that the workbook is being opened on?, i would like to send a workbook
to some people but do not want to allow them to open the workbook on
any other machine than their own so if their machine is called Office1
then they can only open it on there else close the workbook, all the
network users are narrowed to being able to log on on one machine only
i do not want them taking the workbook home!, single machine users
outside the company i would like them to only open the workbook on the
machine that recieved the e-mail with the workbook in.

probably an impossible task..........but maybe just maybe one of you
may have an angle on this!

Regards,
Simon
