Dim wkbk As Workbook
Set wkbk = Workbooks("yourworkbooknamehere.xls")

If wkbk.VBProject.Protection = vbext_pp_locked Then
MsgBox "it's locked"
Else
MsgBox "It's not"
End If

I _think_ that this was added in xl2k. But you'll want to test it in all the
versions of excel that you're supporting.

Is there a way to know (using VBA code) if a workbook's VBA project is

In other words, I want to be able to know if the workbook's macros are
running on a password protected or un-protected VBA Poject?
