Richard,

You can crack VBA passwords to your own projects quite easily if you forget the password - see the
instructions at http://www.schmittis-page.de/index.h...l/vba/t48e.htm

But note that a lot of addins are simply shells that are used to control calls to compiled dll or
xll files, and you will learn nothing by looking at them. A lot of the most popular add-ins are not
copy protected anyway, since they are given away and the authors want you to learn from their code.

HTH,

Can anyone recommend a tool for removing/cracking add-in passwords?

It is extremely frustrating having some wizzy add-ins and to not be able to make our own tools.

A quick google gives me pages of these tools but i would like to get a verbal recommendation
rather than end up downloading loads of junk.

thanks
