Don't know whether or not this is the proper place for this, but tried it in
the Word VBA-General NG (same problem whether Word or Excel) and haven't had
any response (I'm not impatient, but I posted it On Oct 28th).

Is there a known problem with locking a VBA project in Office 2000 and
trying to unlock it in Office '97?
(ie (Project/Module) Properies-Protection-"Lock Project for Viewing")

Because I wanted to prevent the user (another organization) from monkeying
around I thought it seemed straightforward enough when I did it on my home
machine (Off 2000). Worked fine, popped up a password dialogue box and
opened it when I supplied the password.

Zipped/Sent the file to work and attempted to modify it on Off '97.
All I get is a "Project is Unviewable" message (no password box - nothing).

I opened it on a 2000 m/c at work and it worked fine.

Is there a secret?
