Default How to Create a file in Excel that can't be copied or printed

You can shut some things down. For example, add some code to the BeforePrint
and BeforeSave event.

But as others have said, you will not be able to completely lock this file
down. I wonder why you are so protective of this data?

Cannot be done through Excel.

Get your administrator to deny permission to users for anything but
reading the
