I want to Protect VBA Code

R

ryguy7272

I go to the VBA Editor, go to the Tools menu, choose VBA Project Properties,
then the Protection tab, then check the "Lock Project For Viewing" option and
supply a password with like 16 characters, or 20 characters, or some such
thing. How secure is this from cracking software that uses a brute force
method? How secure is it from anything?

It's considerably better then workbook/worksheet protection but still not
good. I use passware to open files for clients

and the only time it let me down was a Portuguese language password which
included special characters and only then because I lost patience.

It's not secure at all.

It protects your code from people who can't seach google or people who don't
want to pay for a piece of software or from people who don't really care to see
your code.

I don't agree.

There are techniques that remove the password from the project--not even bother
attempting to break the password.
