Hiding VBA code

[David Wooddall-Gainey]

I have a subroutine to automate update functions. Several
users need to run the code, so it is assigned to a
keyboard shortcut.

The sheets are protected. I unprotect in the code and then
turn protection back on.

Can I hide the vba code from my users, so they cannot see
the protection password?

TIA

HI David, Open up your VBA and from the Menu select Tools > VBA Project
Properyies Chselect the Protection Tab and Check the box marked "Lock
Project for Viewing. Enter and confirm a password and your away.

David,

Go into the VBE. Select the Tools menu and VBAProjectProperties.
Protect with a password (don't forget this word). Save.

Once the workbook is closed and reopened, you can only get to the code if
you have the password.

Do remember that power users may be able to "crack" your password. Excel is
not known to be that secure. But VBA passwords are a little harder to
crack.
