Default How to protect excel workbook from macro starting from Developer - Code ribbon?

Hello,

in my excel workbook project I use a lot of VBA code where I open different
external data sources, hide and unhide some worksheets and do things that
shoul not be explicitly viewed by normal users. So I protected Visual Basic
code with a password what is probably not the best security (?) but it is
probably enough for our not so experienced internal users.

What disturbs me is but that the user can clicks on Macros icon from the
Developer - Code ribbon and then he can see the list of all my programs
defined in my Visual basics Modules. And not only see - the user can even
run any od these programs alone and on such way ,because of uncontrolled
treatment, he can cause unexpected consequences.

Is there any way how to disable user from such uncontrolled actions?

Ivan
