Default Code Breaking


Hey everyone, I want to try and incorporate a security feature in to my
macro. I know if someone has the right knowhow, they can crack the
password for a locked VBAProject, but is there a way to write a code
that if the person attempts to crack the code or enters the wrong
password like 4 times, the file is destroyed? I have someone that is
trying to steal some info, and I need to make it so he cant get to it
if he tries.

any ideas??

Default Code Breaking

Nope. The only way to secure your code is to distribute it within a compiled XLL or DLL - neither
of which I know how to help you with ;-)
