Security - VBA Password

[Mauro]

Hi,

I developed an application in Access about 2 years ago in which I protected
the VBA modules with the password. I now have to go back and modify the VBA
code, but have forgotten the password (daft....I know).

I have all the source files (ACMs, ACQs, ACSs, etc) and was wondering if I
could dig out the password from somewhere in those.

Otherwise, my only other option is to build a new database application
importing all the source code, tables, queries, etc.

Please tell me there is an easier way....

Thanks

Mauro

Hi,

thanks for that. But I had already tried Google and from a quick look it
seemed there were various tools available to retrieve the mdb password. But
that's not what I need. I need to retrieve/replace/drop the password that I
set on the VBA code module. I'll have a more in-depth look, notwithstanding
that it would be easier if someone could give me a hint rather than having
to trawl through 116000 Google search results!!!

Several of the links on the first page point to tools that will unlock VBA
modules. I only spent about five minutes looking.

notwithstanding that it would be easier if someone could give me a
hint rather than having to trawl through 116000 Google search
results!!!

What about just the first dozen or so? It's probably worth pointing out
that all the posters here are doing it in their spare time, not getting
payment or any other benefit. You will notice that the most enthusiastic
responses are to questions where it looks as though the original poster has
put in some prior legwork. That is not to say that simple questions are not
welcome, but they are likely to get short answers. Give a man a fist, and
all that...

All the best
