MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2004Macro Project Passwording
Everyone knows that it is easy to crack a password protecting a VBA project from prying eyes. Many password crackers simply delete the password. Is there any way to check with VBA to see if a password (that is supposed to be there but was removed) exists? If the password doesn't exist, the program won't function. Conceivably it can 'kill' itself. It at least adds a little bit of additional license protection.

If the project can be opened without the code being run, the hacker can then find that extra code and comment it out. All you are doing is adding a minor additional layer of inconvenience.
