I'm using excel 2000 on Windows 2000 computer
Can anybody tell me if there is a way to unprotect the vb editor in Excel using Code? I have written a program for our engineers that strips all code from our specification workbooks so they can e-mail it to their customers. Our workbooks have menus that are controlled from a seperate contol file, so when the customer opens the spec workbook he/she gets an error "can't find inmac8.xls"(the name of our control file). When I strip the code from the spec workbook, the customer no longer gets the error message(s).
I have had no problem with stripping the code from vb editor, but haven't found anything about unprotecting the vb editor, which I must do before allowed to delete any of the vb components.
Thanks for any help, suggestions anybody can provide.

Hello,

I was trying to do the same thing recently, and I don't believe that there is a way to do this.

See q:
thread68-134920 I did was create a new blank file and copy all the required bits and pieces over, rather than deleting from the active file and saving as a different name.

Hope this helps.
