As part of my attempt to secure my spreadsheet I have put
into place the following -

- Stopped right clicks on cells
- added a tracker to record username and changes made
with refrences to cells
- protected worksheets

does anyone have any more suggestions?

I have heard someone could break the code if they wanted
to by pressing a button when the workbook is opening it?

Any more??

If the user holds down the shift key while opening the workbook, macros are
disabled. Also if they have a security setting that disables macros or asks
the user if they want to disable macros, they couild be disabled this way as
well.

this would probably eliminate your 1st and second bullets.
 
Ive revised my question tom -

I only want the users of my spreadsheets to click buttons
and fill in certain cells in my workbooks so I have come
up with my ideal security scenario.

*Create buttons for close and save to eliminate the need
for the menu or the buttons.
*Remove all menus * Toolbars & Toolbar Buttons, formula
bar?
*make the page jump to specified cell on data
entry "daily" page should any effort to type on any
diallowed cell & msgbox saying "Please only enter
information into the forms provided"
*Protect against button press when opening workbook
*Tracker in place to record username, altered cell &
Input, time & date (file named with dll although still
writes to as txt on network drive)
*Stop right click
*Password protect visual basic code diabling option to
debug code.

Is there any thing I have missed out, and is all the
above possible?

And is there a more secure way of hiding vb code? - like
impossible to get through www.lostpassword.Co.Ck
