Hi,
I want to distribute my application but I am concerned about exposing the VBA code. I understand I can protect the code by using built-in facility using password. Since there are many tools available for recovering password I donot consider password protection as useful.

Are there any tools in the market which can protect the VBA code from opening and browsing?

Thanks.

I would say the built in vba project password protection is about as good as it's going to get without spending the big $$$

General rule of thumb for me is...
Security is an illusion.
Any measure of security you employ, is only as effective as the level of intelligence and determination of those you secure against.
Any lock designed by man, can be broken by man.

Basically, if you have users who are smart enough and determined enough to use password hacking utilities, then they are likely smart enough to get around anything you do.
