Hide Underlying Cell Formulas

Hi All

I have a workbook which I share with my customer. I want to hide all
underlying cell formulas in the workbook. Is there any way, macro etc.
that I can hide and unhide all the formulas as per my convenience. I do
not want to use copy > paste special > values. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Regards
Robben

Robben,

You don't actually need to hide the formula editing window, choose
Format/Cells/Protection and check the "Hidden"
checkbox, then when you protect the sheet, formulas will be hidden.

Note, though you will need to enter a password for editing (Not necessary
for viewing) but it's not that secure, it doesn't take long to find a program
or macro on the internet to crack the password.

If you want something more secure then you will need to have a combination
of VBA and protected cells, but as with ALL copy protection it's not 100% and
if someone is determined enough they will still get in.
