Locking a project
 

Hi,

In VB project protection using right click "VBAproject Properties" the
password tab has :-
a) Lock project for viewing
b) Password to view project properties.

If I dont check a) then the user who is able to view the code is able to
modify the code. Why?.Is this not something analogous to Worksheet
protection in 2002 where u can let somebody view data but may not give them
the authority to modify it. Can a project be locked for editing but still
can be viewed?

What does b) mean

Hari,

The object is to keep others from viewing your code. So check Lock. Then
enter a password (twice). The next time you open the Workbook and go to VBA
you will be required to enter your password before you can view the code.

Hi Jim,

My doubt is can we give a third person right to view the code but not the
right to modify the code. Is it possible to specify a read only setting for
the code.
