Excel Security?

[Nate769]

So I have looked around with no definitive answer, maybe someone can point me in the right way...

I created myself a spreadsheet, protected it so that only cells I wanted users to access would be clickable.

Problem is whenever a user opens the spreadsheet with any other program but office, that protection goes away.

Is there a way that I can lock cells/spreadsheets, in ANY program that a user would use?

Any help is appreciated thanks!

No, there isn't.

Excel security was designed to prevent inadvertent changes by users of Excel.
