How can I restrict access to source code?

[aryan_hr]

Hi,
I wrote a big program in VBA which I need to restrict access to. what's the best way to password protect a VBA code, please?
I can put a password for my project in "VBAProject properties" but I am sure that there is an other secure way !!!!
any help?????
best wishes

I'm afraid it isn't the fanciest means of protection, but you can also change the color of your font to match the background. That way if someone was able to get past your password, they would only see a bunch of blank pages. I'm not sure if there is a way to create a OPEN VISUAL BASIC event, but if you can figure it out, you can always have a hidden cell that must meet some sort of criteria before you can even open VBE. It's late and I'm just crapping out ideas......

Hi aryan_hr,

Yes, to my knowledge password protecting the VBAProject is the best and most secure way. But also be aware that unless the password is at least 9 characters in length and contains numeric characters it can be easily broken by any number of password-breaking codes, many of which can be downloaded for free on the internet.
