Use macro to password protect macros
I have a macro that saves my spreadsheet (let call it "Spreadsheet_A") as a
spreadsheet with a different name (ie. "Spreadsheet_A_10_30_2005") but the same password to open the file. Other users cannot open Spreadsheet_A_10_30_2005 without my password (and I do not believe that they have the sophistication to download a program to remove the password protection). However, they are currently able to view my macros, which contain the password. I know that I can password protect my macros by going to Tools-VBA Project Properties, but is there a way to write a macro to automatically password protect my macros upon exit? Or upon using "save as"? Thanks! |

Use macro to password protect macros
One more thing...I keep Spreadsheet_A on my C drive (where no one else can
access it) and I am frequently editing my macros (so I would prefer not to always require a password to view the macros). Spreadsheet_A_10_30_2005, however, is saved to our shared drive, which is why I want to use a macro to password protect my macros.

Use macro to password protect macros
There is no provision for it in the Object model.
The usual suggestion is to use SendKeys See Bill Manville's code: http://tinyurl.com/926n9 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Noah" wrote in message ...
