Hi all,

I am currently wondering how to allow only a single user to use my excel spreadsheet. That is I send it to the person, they download it, and then if they try to send it to someone else, the formulas in the spreadsheet stop functionning.

My inital thought was to make a formula ,using VBA or not, that would check the name of the device on which the excel spreadsheet has been opened. For that I was thinking of accessing the control panel but I have no clue on how to do it.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!
