VB executable programs use compiled code. VBA runs interpreted code,..the
programming can be viewed.

I hope that helps.

Not the answer I was expecting, but perfectly understandable. In the
future
I think I will take the extra time and code everything for VB7. Many
Thanks

I have tried to protect a spreadsheet with a 252 character password
made up
of Numbers, UCase, LCase and various Symbols. I know it works because
if I
change just one character somewhere in that string, the sheet fails to
unprotect. I then sent it to a friend to see if he could break it. He
said
it took less than 2 minutes with a commericial product and it came up
with a
working unprotect password only 12 characters long (all UCase Letters
and a
sequence not found in the 252 one).

How is it possible for a 12 character password to unlock a 252 one ????
