Hi All

I am using a template in MS Excel as a secure tool. The security will be authenticated from the client side as opposed to the server side. I have the user fill their username and password in a userform. This username and password is sent to a URL which displays XML data. If an element from the XML payload = 0, then the user can send the data, otherwise any other value from the payload generates an error message.

I will also lock the macros so that the user cannot view/modify the macros. Is there anything else that I maybe overlooking from a security standpoint?

Thanks for your help.

Gautam
