Excel Document Dependent on Another document for access

[Daylon]

I'm working on a excel document that will be shared on an internal network and I want it to rely on another file for the key.

Example:

My co-workers and myself can work on this excel document on our internal network, but if someone takes the excel file without the "key" then the document will not open or will not work correctly.


I hope I described that correctly. I also ideally would not want to enter a password everytime.

You should not use Excel for this purpose.
Excel's security is notoriously poor. Even if you try password protecting it, it isn't that hard to hack.

Perhaps you want to use some secure Zip program to secure it, or use some other program altogether.

Thats slightly disappointing but good information. Thanks Joe.
