If you dont need heavy duty security, why not shell out to Winzip<br>
zip the xls file and password protect it., at least it is not in clear.<br>
<br>
With Excel 2002, this is easier you can dump the spreadsheet to XML<br>
pass it through a SOAP server or .net web service and send it with basic<br>
password authorization and SSL then reconstitute the XML into Excel at the
other end.<br>
You could do this in Excel 97 but you would have to use some XSLT to convert
csv to XML<br>
Lots of samples of this xslt on the web. It would require knowledge of SOAP
tool kits. Definitely a long way around for a shortcut.<br>

Subject: [AccessD] Securing an Excel file programmatically from Access
Hi Everyone-
Great praise to all you gurus who I've garnered much from in the past.
Using Access97 and Excel97 ... I'm using DoCmd.OutputTo in Access to output
reports in .xls format and programatically send (twice a month) to a client
outside our network. The problem is, our network is secure and client's
isn't, so the folks enforcing the big bad fed privacy laws don't want to let
us send things with the push of a button! Talk about trying to keep good
gov't. down!
Does anyone have code to secure the newly (OutputTo) created Excel worksheet
after it has been created prior to sending?
Thanks much!
