Hiding VB Code
 

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.

At the top of the module put
Option private module
and they can't see it from toolsmacros
Also, protect the macro project to deny access to most people.

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?

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.

Pretty simple..
At the top of the module put
Option private module
and they can't see it from toolsmacros
type option private module as the top line in the module. Same as typing
private sub thissub() for each

Now goto toolsmacrosmacros and you will not see your macros anymore.
To work in the module comment out the line and then uncomment when through
