Hi,
Over a year ago I wrote an Add In for Access 97. I password protected the ASdd-In which I recorded. However, I can recall how to unlock the Add - In for editing. In the VBA Editor I double-click on the Add In which responds correctly with 'Project Unviewable'. Ithought this action requested password entry?

Probably a simple one!!

Thanks
 
If you created 'mde' file, the add-in contains only compiled code, that is unviewable in VBE window.

Thanks for reply. Agree with your post (Have written DB Add Ins as well). My error - Should have stated my application Add In issue relates to Excel97 - sorry so an XLA file type.
 
Open (no install) the add-in. In immediate window execute:
Code:
Workbooks("YourAddIn.xla").IsAddin=False
You should now see the workbook (if no, unhide window) and save as 'xls' file.
Check if the workbook is shared, this always locks access vba project. If no, a part of the vba stream could be destroyed. It still can accessed, but with hacker methods, that are not discussed on this forum.

Many thanks Combo. Now OK
