Default Protecting linked source data

Greetings,
I have a spreadsheet on a network that links to another workbook containing
source data, formulas etc. Obviously the public version is there to be viewed
by my colleagues but I wish to hide the source data from all users but need
the ability to update the source data. I thought I had succeeded in
protecting the source data only to find out that one could access it by using
the LINKS option from the EDIT menu. Is there anyway (without using vba) to
protect the data? I am using excel 2003 under the XP Pro OS.
Thanks,
JoJo.
