VBA Codes Protection
Hi
I like to protect my VBA application. I know Excel sheet password can be broken. Even I can do it. But is it easy to break into VBA codes protected for viewing? If you know it I do not want to know how to do it because I am not going to do it. But can you tell me how can I stop it? Will I have to merge some other technology with Excel? Thanks & Regards M Varne |
VBA Codes Protection
VB code protection is more robust than workbook/sheet protection but
inexpebsive commercial crackers will remove the protection very quickly. The only safe method is to create you code as an add-in. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/EN-US/lib...ffice.10).aspx Mike "Varne" wrote: Hi I like to protect my VBA application.

VBA Codes Protection
An add-in is no more secure than any other workbook.
If you really want to protect it, you need to write the important code in a compiled language, such as VB, as a DLL say, and call the DLL in your application. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Mike H" wrote in message ...
