Hi Scott,

It sounds like you're using Excel 97 and he's using a later version of
Excel. MS changed the VBProject protection algorithm between Excel 97 and
Excel 2000, so Excel 97 can't unprotect VBProjects that have been protected
in any later version of Excel. All versions of Excel after 97 use the same
algorithm, though, so they can all open each others protected projects.

a very advanced coder at my work has written up an excellent workbook.
the VBA code is unviewable. when i click the design mode button, the
'view code' button is grayed out. when i get to the visual basic
editor by alt+11 and click on the workbook i get a message that this
says 'this project is unviewable'
how can i do this and better yet, how can i undo this?
