Protection Techniques

Excel Facts

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
My understanding is that I'll never be able to fully prevent my workbook/code from being accessed but I'd like to come as close as possible.
One way is to convert the workbook into an exe file. This way you can protect all you wish to "a la carte"
An annoying thing is that if you use the exe file in an email the antivirus of the recipient will stop it ... Hotmail makes it impossible to even decide if you want to download the file or not ... one remedy is to compress the file (Zip)
