Password protect and restrict permissions for the Excel file. Your options
could vary depending on the version of Excel being used. If you need more
assistance with that aspect, consult Excel's Help or ask in an Excel
newsgroup. As far as the VB side of things, how are you "embedding" this?
Are you using the OLE Container control or what? If so, I don't know what
side-affects there could be with a password-protected file.
