Password Proting your VBA code

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi All,

 

I have been reading several posts lately about how setting a password up in
your VBA code will not protect it from prying eyes.  Can someone please
explain to me how this is possible?  Our company has been asked about the
possibility of creating some macros with VBA and we never sell the rights
to any code we produce no matter what it is written in (VB, VBA, AutoLisp,
Avenue, C++ etc...) and therefore would need it to be protected.  What
are some possible was of breaking into the code.  Would it require an
individual with a great amount of skill or is this something the everyday user
could figure out?

 

I would appreciate any thoughts,

 

Rob

Ditto that Frank. Hey Rob, do a search for "vba password" on your favorite
search engine and see what you come up with. VBA is certainly not a language
intended for commercial use, even VB in all its glory is lacking due to it's
numerous dependencies, but at least you can make your source as safe as
anything else out there.

Jacob Dinardi
