Hi,
I work on Excel 2013.
For unknown reason, I can't password protect the vba project.
I follow this steps -
ALT F11
TOOLS --> VBAProject properties
Protection
click on "lock project for viewing"
enter & confirm password
save & exit visual basic
save file as *.xlsm
exit

but after I open the file again, the project & macros are visible and the no password appears...
Can anyone advise / help solving

Thank you
Samuel

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Did you quit Excel (and, thus, close all workbooks)? If you only close that particular workbook and leave others open, it won't work. This is because even if you close the workbook that has the password associated with it, the code is still in the VBA Project window. So, when you open that workbook again, you still can see the code.
