Excel password Encryption a joke...

Does anyone know of a way to further secure excel worksheets/workbooks? It kind of defeats the purpose to protect a sheet when someone who knows a little more than nothing can get on the net and paste in the VBA to unprotect a sheet. Just curious if anyone else had any ways of protecting their data.

Note: The workbook is a template people need to use so I can't encrypt the whole file.
