Author Protecting an Excel Workbook
Pambos Franjeskos

2004-10-27, 3:55 pm



I have a large workbook with a lot of forulas in it. I;m planing to give
it to all my go workers to use it. I do not want the workbook to be
copied by no one. I did protected the cells and formulas and so on, but
I want to be able to secure the worksheet from been copied.

Any ideas on how to do that.

Thanks
Pambos

I would post your question to microsoft.public.excel if you don't receive an answer here.

Do you mean you don't want the XLS file copied? I don't think there's a way
to prevent that (unless you always keep the file opened...and even then,
there's probably a way around it).
