Hiding VBA code
I have a subroutine to automate update functions. Several
users need to run the code, so it is assigned to a keyboard shortcut. The sheets are protected. I unprotect in the code and then turn protection back on. Can I hide the vba code from my users, so they cannot see the protection password? TIA |

Hiding VBA code
David,
Go into the VBE. Select the Tools menu and VBAProjectProperties. Protect with a password (don't forget this word). Save. Once the workbook is closed and reopened, you can only get to the code if you have the password. Do remember that power users may be able to "crack" your password. Excel is not known to be that secure. But VBA passwords are a little harder to crack. -- sb "David Wooddall-Gainey" wrote in message ... I have a subroutine to automate update functions.
