This sort of reminds me of someone who was trying to pass off something I developed as
his own.

As I had got terribly bored when developing the user interface (using VBA), I had dicked around a little.

"So, does your app have any Cartman in it?" I asked.

"What?" he says.

"Cartman. You know, fat bloke".

"What are you talking about?"

"Double click on the form title".

Up pops Eric Cartman in the middle of the form, with a big speech bubble saying "Respect my authority".

I used to like it when our Director of Nursing would pass my work off as his when sending it on to the Strategic Health Authority,
then the SHA would pass it off as their own when sending it back to me.

"Why isn't this spreadsheet working? Whoever wrote this is an idiot!"

"Well, actually, you've typed over the cells that calculate the results"

"It's still stupid. Anyway, how do you know what was there?"

"I'm the idiot that wrote it"

"Oh good. So can you fix it then?"

"no"

Use password protect in future
You can specify cells that cannot be clicked on, much less typed over. It's invaluable when you're creating any sort of complicated thing.

Yeah, ta.
Actually I normally arrange it so that any trashable cells are in separate columns, then I hide the columns.

To be honest I don't do a lot of that stuff nowadays anyway, but my old stuff is still in circulation.
