Thanks to all.

I apologize, but I did not properly define the problem I am addressing. I have written code for a 
POS [Point Of Sale] system to be used in a store.  I don't expect the store owner to play with the 
code.  His friends [or enemies] might try. There are two logins to the computer, ethan [me] and 
worker.  Worker has to be able to access the code to use it.  He has to be blocked from reading, 
writing or copying the code.

How??

TIA
