    Real Security for Excel

    I have a workbook which i really want to protect.
    i dont want any formulas to be seen and tampered with.
    simply hiding/locking cells and protecting the sheet is not secure enough. within minutes of googling crack password, i was able to find a macro that unlocks the sheet.

    is there something out there that can really secure your workbook.
    i found something called XLS Padlock (http://www.xlspadlock.com/).
    seems great. has anyone had any experience with it

    thanks

    I'd say don't use Excel if you really really don't want anybody messing with your data... Excel is not built for high level protection
    When I say semicolon, u say comma!

    You might want to use something like WinZip,s AES encryption...128 bit or 256 bit.
