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.
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Don't use Excel
Create an XLL
Keep information stored off-site & secured
Don't allow access to the file(s)
