Protecting spreadsheets for coping

[Guest]

Good Day: I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can protect a
spreadsheet (workbook) from being copied. Is there any software out there
that can be installed with the spreadsheet to lock it and require a key code
to open.

There may be other ways, but if you create an image of it, no one can copy
and paste the information in the spreadsheet easily.

You can zip the wokbook and protect the zip file with a password.

You can buy software that will break just about any protection that can be
applied in Excel.

Thanks all, zip is a great idea and will probably work well for my purposes.
Thanks Kevin
