Project Locking Woes
I used to be able to lock the VBA code for viewing with a password in
Excel 2000. I closed down all the Worksheets, Forms, and Modules in the VBeditor. Then, I went to Tools VBAProject Properties and select the Protection tab, clicked "Lock project for viewing", and entered a password. It seemed to work fine. Whenever I attempted to view the any of forms and/or, I was challenged with a password. But when I try to do the same thing in Excel 2003, there's something wrong. After I've been simply using the app (not in the VB Editor) and then close Excel, I get the password challenge prompt. That clearly is not acceptable if I want other people to just use the app. Can someone tell what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance. |

Project Locking Woes
The only thing that comes to mind is that when first protecting a project, I
believe that xl must be closed, then reopened before the protection goes into effect. I assume you have done this but maybe not.
