Hi,

As far as I know, there is no code in Excel that is
secure, even with passwords. There's always someone
selling password cracking software. You might be able to
write this Excel VBA code in VB6, and give to your client
an executable program that can't be cracked. I'm not sure
if it would work in your case, but you might want to
investigate this some more.

I'm new at writing Excel VBA code this way in VB6. I've
got some simple programs to work and they work perfectly.
If you need more specific questions, I hope one of the
experts with this type of programming can help.

Hello!

I write VBA code to automate certain functions in my
Excel file, and I use a
lot of "template" sheets to generate charts and save them
as a new xls file.
My client wants to run my programs on their site, which
requires that I give
them a copy of the main Excel workbook that contains my
templates and VBA
code. Is there any way for me to hide them so that my
client cannot copy my
code? Ideally, I want to be able to password-protect
everything in my file.
(The client really just has to press the keyboard
shortcut --- CTRL-M --- to
run my main routine.).

Thanks for your help.

Greg
