Default Password security problem: view of the hiden worksheet in xlsm and xlsx file !?

Hello,

if you have an excel file of the type xlsm and if you protect the VBA code
with a password then you disable the user from seeing not only the code but
also from seeing the structure of worksheets, among them especially the
'very hiden' worksheets too.

An over inquisitive user can but save the VBA password protected xlsm file
as an xlsx file. In such a case the user besides he lose the VBA code he
get the access to all of the worksheets where he can then change the
properties and finally he get the access to the data of the before hiden
worksheets.

Is there any way to avoid to make user possible to view the data he shoud
not see?

Ivan
