What you'd need to do is to forbid the user ever to create
instructions that are executed by the system (or cripple the available
set of instructions really, really, badly).  This means no macros in
your spreadsheets, etc., etc.


Does anyone ever actually use ANY MACRO that does ANYTHING more than move some data around the spreadsheet, or copy it to another sheet? If you use a MACRO to do anything more than simple stuff like that then you're begging for a simple typo to wide out some important stuff!

Also, isn't a MACRO (and I'm not talking about in M$ Orifice where MACROs are written in VB) just a script? Why couldn't you write and run a complete script as a non-privileged user??
