Disabling Visual Basic Editor After Protecting Worksheet/Workbook

[Guest]

Is there anyway that i can prevent a user from launching the visual basic
editor in excel on a protected worksheet/workbook? Basically i dont want a
user to be able to see any of the vb code that is on the worksheet.

Reggie, you can protect the VBA project

To protect the VBA project, from your workbook right-click the workbook's
icon and pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this
will open the VBA editor, in Project Explorer right click on your workbook
name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project Explorer then
select VBA project properties, protection, check lock project for viewing
and set a password. Press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your
workbook and save and close the file. Be aware that this password can be
broken by third party software
