From what I recall (and just Googled to make sure), VB.NET (VB7) does run
compiled code,

Thanks Ron, does it mean that VB7 produces compiled code? I haven't met
VB7
before.

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
????
