Subject: protecting excel macros from being changed/ seen by user


Jon,


Go to the VBE


From the Tools menu protect the project with a password and save.


The next time the workbook is opened it will require a password to view
the code.


But remember a serious "hacker" can get in...


How can a "serious hacker" get the data? I mean, just playing a little
bit with an hex editor or what?

I used to program in Visual Basic years ago, and I remember that there
were something called OCX controlls(compiled code), wich can be embebed
into any MS office application. Are them still there in VB net?
