You could check the computer name (Environ("Computername") and password protect the poject, but not much more than that.

And even then, the security on a VBA project password is extremely weak, and a motivated user will have ready access to cheap tools that will shred it in seconds.

If it's that important to you, then you need to be thinking about compiling an executable using tools like Visual Studio or this: http://www.calc4web.com/

Hi Nader,
Where is your cross-post link on MrExcel? I don't believe they look upon it any more kindly there. You should really give time for one site to respond before cross posting at another.

You don't wait even one millisecond, when you make the second post you tell us, and then you go update the post elsehwere and tell them. That way, I for one can ignore your post, which I will do as a default position from now on.

and I inserted the link in which I palce the croos-psot. and I didn't get a objection from you. Where .Aussiebear (http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/member.php?u=3907) agree about that.

Dir you read this paragraph?

Find one forum and stick with it, preferably a very busy one so you reach a bigger audience. If you don't get a satisfactory answer in a reasonable amount of time (days, not hours), then:

If your requirements are urgent, then free forums are not the place for your questions. Consider a paid consultant in this instance.

Nader, Yes you are following my request to the letter, but as the fellow members are suggesting to you, cross posting as soon as you are putting a question to the forum is not being very respectful. I admit I left that bit out, because I thought you would show some respect to the members here.

Consider this, if I came to you to learn the classical guitar and as soon as I asked you a question, I turned to the next instructor and asked him/her the same question, would you feel offended? Would you not think that I should at least listen to your responce, even try your method, before I jumped ship?
