MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007Powerpoint VBA Project Protection Issue
Hi I've created a project in powerpoint which is password protected. The code of which is in the slide object rather than a module so that the functionality is retained when I copy the slide to another presentation. However the problem I have is that although the slide and code are copied across to the project for the new presentation it doesn't retain the password protection! Does any one have a simple fix for this? Ideally I would like to keep the same password. Thanks Not much luck there. The password is project based, so copying components of a project to another will not transfer the password. There is not shortcut approach to this. You just have to do it manually each time.

So it seems only module based code is protected then! Not exactly a secure way to protect your hard written code if anyone can copy slides and get access to it. Oh well I guess MS missed a trick, again. Cool. That is a neat bug. I just tried it by creating a simple file with a password for viewing the VBA. If I close and try to view the VBA, it asks me for the password. However, even if I don't type the password, it lets me copy and paste slides to another presentation and view code associated with those slides over there. Thanks for pointing this out. By the way, I did my testing in 2003. I wonder if anything has changed in 2007. --David SignatureDavid M.
