    Hi All,

    I need to protect the VBA Coding except using the Excel VBA Protection method, because there are many tools in online to unlock the VBA Project.

    Please help.

    Thanks in Advance,
    Vignesh Raja

    Hi Vignesh,
    Yes! as you said, there are many tools to unprotect the VBA Project. As per my understanding, no tools can protect the VBA code. We recommend you to go for COM based Add-ins.

    Thanks-PNRao!
