How to Protect MACRO with Password
 

Amol, to protect the VBA project? if so try this, if this is not what you
want post back

To protect the VBA project, from your workbook right-click the workbook's
icon and pick View Code. This icon is at the top-left of the spreadsheet
this will open the VBA editor, in Project Explorer right click on your
workbook name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project
Explorer then select VBA project properties, protection, check lock project
for viewing and set a password. Press Alt and Q to close this window and go
back to your workbook and save and close the file. Be aware that this
password can be broken by third party software

How to Protect MACRO with Password
 

Do you know if there's a problem with this in Excel 2007? Unfortunately
we've only one machine running '07 in the office to use as a test-bed, but...

When the VBA project is password protected (to keep those very hidden sheets
very hidden) on this one PC and saved, when re-opened on the same PC *even
with a different user logged on, and after a reboot* the password protection
is not in place. If it was originally saved as an '03 workbook, the password
functions correctly when opened on a different PC running Excel '03.
However, if saved as an '07 workbook then Microsoft's own conversion utility
strips this password when opened on a PC running '03.

Known glitch or just a weird PC? And are there any fixes available?

Thanks

Never ever rely on password protection on any Excel object.

Everything can be broken into.

Use AddIns.
