Silly Question
Mick,
In the VBA editor, go to the Tools menu, choose VBA Project Properties, then the Protection tab. There, check the "lock project for viewing" option and enter a password. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Mick Southam" wrote in message ...

Silly Question
Hi Mick,
You can't stop everyone from seeing your code if you use VBA. You can password-protect your VBA Project (via Tools | VBAProject properties, Protection tab, check Lock project for viewing and enter a password), but those passwords can be cracked. If you just want to stop the casual user from seeing your code, that would suffice. Otherwise, you may want to look into creating a DLL to encapsulate your sensitive code - then you can call the DLL functions from VBA. -- Regards, Jake Marx MS MVP - Excel www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] Mick Southam wrote: Hi All How do I stop users seeing my code? |
