How to Password Protect VBA Code?

Protecting your VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code is crucial to prevent unauthorized access and manipulation of your macros in Microsoft Excel, Word, or other Office applications. Here's how you can easily password protect your VBA code:

1. Open the VBA Editor: In Excel, press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic for Applications Editor.
2. Select your VBA project: Locate and select the project you want to protect in the left pane.
3. Set a password: Go to Tools > VBAProject Properties > Protection tab, check the 'Lock project for viewing' box, and enter your password.
4. Save your project: Close the VBA Editor and save your file. The next time you try to view or modify the code, you'll be prompted to enter the password.

By password protecting your VBA code, you can safeguard your intellectual property and sensitive information from prying eyes.
