Crack a VBA password?
VBA password
removewords.htm works on sheet and book protection, not on VBA. http://www.lostpassword.com has a commerical product which is purported to work on VBA passwords. You might want to contact the coworker. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

Crack a VBA password?
My site doesn't describe how to remove VBA passwords. Only the worksheet
and workbook passwords. Removing the VBA password can be done - there are commercial applications that do it. In article , "Frank Kabel" wrote: See: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/removepwords.html for one free available tool |

Crack a VBA password?
Contact the former employee. She/he is legally obligated
to provide the password if the project was developed on company time or was paid for by the company. I'd be willing to have a crack at it if you can prove to me that your company owns the code. However, I can't think of a way to do that without describing the contents; e.g. module names, Function names, a general description of a procedure etc. You would presumably need the former employee to do this - so why bother, just get the password. Apparently by design, the VBA language does not access the protection features of the VBA project most likely in order to thwart password breaking. In other words, there is no programmatic way to break VBA project protection using the VBA language. A possible exception is by means of the Sendkeys method. In my experience, Sendkeys can be used successfully to programmatically open a VBA project when the password is known. However, when not known, using Sendkeys and the "brute force" method will more likely cause Excel to crash or, alternatively, will take forever. I personally have never succeeded. I know of an alternative method that, based on very limited experience, is highly reliable. However, I'm not willing to make this public.
