Is there any way I can secure my macros so that no one else can edit o
even see them without a password?


Thank

Hi Monkeyman,

In the VBE,

Tools | VBAProperties | Protection | Lock Project For Viewing |
Insert password | OK

Now, save, close and re-open the file.

Note, however, that Excel security is very weak and may readily be
surmounted,

Hi MonkeyMan,

I think that you have to appreciate that Excel is intrinsically and
inherently insecure.

You may, however, care to follow previous threads on this oft raised
question:

How can you overcome the password? I have a couple of documents that
can't edit of because I can't remember the paswords. They are m
work...hence the security isn't so strong!!
