Hi KGB,

If you are running Excel 97 and the add-in was password protected in
Excel 2000 or later, Excel 97 will not be able to unprotect the project.
This is because the protection algorithm was updated in Excel 2000.
Unlikely, but also a possibility, if the add-in was created in Excel 95 you
will not be able to view the code in any later version of Excel.

Hi
I have two Excel AddIns obtained from different sources.
When I try to look at the VBA code one asks for a password, whereas the
other simply states that the project is unviewable.
Can anybody explain
- what is the difference between these.
- how is a project made unviewable (I already know how to protect a
project with a password).
Thanks in advance.
KGB
