WD98: How to Protect VBA Code from Unauthorized AccessLast reviewed: February 18, 1998Article ID: Q181183 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYIn earlier versions of Word, you can use the WordBasic MacroCopy statement to convert an editable macro to an execute-only macro. You cannot edit or view an execute-only macro. The execute-only option is used with earlier versions of Word that use WordBasic as their programming language and is used to protect macros from being modified. This execute-only feature is no longer available in Word 98 and later versions. Instead, you can use the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Lock Project property to protect your code from unauthorized changes or to prevent others from viewing the code.
