Chapter 24. Providing Help, Securing, Packaging and Distributing
The final step in developing an Excel-based application is preparing it for release to our users. This includes creating a help file and adding code to display it from our application, securing the application to prevent accidental and/or malicious changes, limiting access to features by checking the user's network group memberships and avoiding the display of the macro security warning dialogs. Finally, we need to decide upon a mechanism for installing the application on our users' machines. We might also want to include features within our application to easily deploy updates. |
