Good afternoon

'Fraid not. And if you want to hide something best not use Excel. I
is SO easy to unhide an xlveryhidden sheet using VBA, and most exper
users could remove the VBA password in less time than it took you t
apply it. You can set the hidden flag (ctrl + 1, protection) that wil
take effect when sheet protection is invoked, but that protection to
could be removed in under a minute - the password is irrelevant.

Any information contained in a spreadsheet can be laid bare withi
seconds, no matter how deeply it is buried. In fact this guy has lai
down a challenge for any one to send him a workbook containin
information that he can't access.

You still can. in VBE, select your project and in the Tools menu, VBAProject
Properties, then the Security tab, set password.

oh thanks very much dominic. it's really horrible that even microsoft
can't save itself.


I just wanted to add my signature page (hidden) so that when i get a
file to modify i can check what work it was and when i did it.

It secure from most prying eyes.

But if you really want security, you'll compile your code into a COM addin
(beyond me).
