Hide macros from Alt-F8 macro list
 

Is there a way I can prevent macros from appearing in the macro list
(Alt-F8.) I developed a custom Excel application and I password protected the
VBA project as well as the workbook and all worksheets. Yet, when the user
selects Alt-F8 he can still view and run any of the dozens of macros. This
could have disastrous consequences. How can I hide the macros from the Alt-F8
macro list?

thank you,

Change them to Private

Private Sub mymacro()
'your code
End Sub

Users could still run the macros from ToolsMacroMacros if they know the names
of the macros.
