You can run macros if the VBA Project is password protected. If there are
errors in the code, it won't highlight the lines that are in error. They
can run the code, they just can't see it.

I posted a new question recently about security and the answer received was
that internal passwords can be bypassed and changed, look at website:

http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/removepwords.html

Now my question is : What if the excel file, I will call it File01.xls has
the VBA password protected and the user cannot get to that files VBA to run
the macro. Would they be able to run the macro from say File02.xls and
either return the passwords or change the passwords on the Sheet Protect and
Workbook Protect on File01.xls?

Thank you,
