prevent copying
Seriously: Encrypt the file with something like PGP and don't let anyone
near your hard drive. If someone can open your workbook, they can copy it. If you search the archives of these newsgroups you'll find lots of suggestions for making it harder, but nearly all of them can be defeated by any moderately curious user who can find these newsgroups. Using Windows/Office Digital Rights Management can also make it harder, but it requires that your users are willing to use it as well.

prevent copying
Hi,
I will add to JE's comment - if a user can see your file then can use a screen capture program to copy the data into another program, in effect bypassing any protection you have devised. So, very simply, if they can see it they can copy it. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "tofimoon3" wrote: dear sir,with best regards,how can i protect the workbook and its sheets from copying by others.
