How would one programmitacally protect/unprotect a VBProject?

Hi IT_Roofer,

I do not think that Excel provides any support for this.

If you perform a ggogle search of the NG archives, you
will find suggestions for the use of the SendKeys method,
but this can be problematic

I don't think that anyone here (at my work) has enough know-how to even get
into the VBAProject to hurt anything, but I don't want to take that chance.
Is there a way to keep Excel from keeping the project protection from
transferring over to the new workbook?

Hi Atomic Storm (IT_Roofer?),

If you create a copy of the workbook, the protection
status of the original file will be assumed by the new
copy.

Therefore, if the copy file is not to have its VBA project
protected, I think that you would need to remove the
protection from the original - at least temporariily.

I you are right, but that brings us right back to the beginning:
how to remove the protection to allow the macro code to execute the
removal of VB code. At that point, it wouldn't matter if there was
project protection because all the vitals would be gone. So I guess I
just want to be able to remove the worksheet code and only re-establish
sheet protection. The later of which is the easy part.

Do you think it would feasable to have a macro that would close the VBE
if it were opened instead of applying VBProject protection?

Therefore, look at Tom Ogilvy's post of code from
