When you set a password on VBAProjectProtection "lock for viewing" you
must save and close the workbook.

When you re-open, the protection is functional.

Hi Bob
Not sure what you mean here.
When I go into VBA project, ToolsProject Properties the project name
"VBAProject" is highlighted.
If i tyen go to protection and tick the box and enter a password it seems to
make no difference.

If I try to give the project a name it tells me that the name I have chosen
is not valid.
What am I missing?
Do I have to save the code in some special way?

How do you hide the VB code from users?
My sheet is protected but when you right click on the sheet tab and
select
View, you can see all the code - including the password that is
"protecting"
the sheet.
