DoneEx XCell Compiler - comments on VBA protection?

[Greg Lovern]

Can anyone comment on the VBA protection of DoneEx XCell Compiler?

I asked DoneEx and they say they just hide the VBA code from view;
they don't compile it to binary. Any thoughts on how much risk there
is that someone could hack the protection and view my code?

If you are thinking of going in that direction I'd recommend Orlando
Magalhães Filho's XL to Exe

Why? He doesn't say anything about protection except for a file-open
password.

Good question. I'm sure when I looked at it before there was a way to secure
the code (which I certainly couldn't break) but at the moment I don't see it
or recall how to do it. It might be worth asking him directly.
