Protect VBAProject from within the code

[Ken Soenen]

Is there any way to Protect/Unprotect the VBAProject from within the VB code
rather than from the VisualBasic user interface?

thanks,
ken

Only using sendkeys.

You can keep the VB code from ever getting into the users workbook.
How's that?

1. Store the VB code in an AddIn,
2. In the template or workbook, the one having the numbers add subs
like these to remove the addin reference :


Private Function ReferenceExists(reference As String) As Boolean
Dim result As Boolean
result = False

On Error Resume Next
result = Not Me.VBProject.References(reference) Is Nothing

ReferenceExists = result
End Function


Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
If ReferenceExists("MyExcellAddin") Then
WorkbookUtils.RemoveReferences Me
End If
End Sub

This might help too.


Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If ReferenceExists("MyExcellAddin") Then
' We need to generate the report
ReportUtils.AutoGenerateReport Me
End If
End Sub
