If you try, you'll have to rely on Sendkeys.

Here's a Ron de Bruin post of a Bill Manville macro:

I wouldn't rely on this.


Most useful. Thanks. I'm not looking to bury a password in the code. I plan
to change it for each release. What I got out of the post was:

Sub LockCode()
SendKeys "+{TAB}{RIGHT}%V{+}{TAB}"
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBE.CommandBars(1).FindCo ntrol(ID:=2578, recursive:=True).Execute
End Sub
