protect/unprotect a VBA Project
 

Good evening Helmekki

We are all pretty much aware that the protection for worksheets and
structure is a little bit flimsy (to say the least!). However, the
routines used to protect VBA routines and password protected files is a
little bit more robust - but that is not to say it cannot be cracked,
just not by a macro. If you need to open a password protected project
you can buy specialist software to do so, or pay a service where you
e-mail your file to a company and get it back several hours later
unprotected.

It can be done using a hex editor, and if your file is not highly
confidential I would be prepared to remove the password for you. No
charge.

But it CANNOT be done from within Excel.

protect/unprotect a VBA Project
 

Hi Hesham

Slight problem in that the program is not a VBA program, but has been
written using VB (similar, but different). VB allows for standalone
applications to be written and compiled modules to be used as excel
add-ins, and compiled modules will look like mumbo jumbo (if you're not
English you won't understand this term, but it means muddled up and
confused!) and would not make sense.

So how can you tell if an add-in is compiled VB or standard VBA (which
is compiled at run time)? Well, if you are prompted for a password, it
is VBA. If the message is "This project is unviewable" it is compiled
code. However, if you want to know how the program does what it does,
have a quick look here for VBA code to do what this add-in does, and a
bit of interesting information about how the password crackers work.
