This could be done with a VBA Macro but you would have to take security
measures to keep the user from tampering with the code. Maybe even
incoporate code that deletes all of the data included in the file after
a certain date. Security measures can be a hassle in real-life
environments because of "Security Warnings", etc.

If you have experienced users or can train them than this is a
possibility.

To answer your question, Yes it can be done. But, as a practical matter, it
will only keep the honest people honest. A competent Excel user can get in
to just about any file they really want to.

It can be done with code, BUT, if you disable macros on your machine then the
code cannot run and the file is accessible.
