Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus Power Tip

A question came in recently regarding whether you can password protect just the VBA code for an Access database,Office 2010 Product Key, but not the rest of the database. The answer is yes,Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key! Here’s how to do it:
In Access, press ALT+F11 to open the VBA editor. On the Tools menu, select <Database Name> Properties… On the Protection tab, select the Lock project for viewing check box. Enter and confirm a password. Click OK,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, and then close and reopen the database. Next time you go to view the VBA code,Office 2010 Activation, you’ll be prompted for the password. Note that there are a lot of free or inexpensive tools that allow you to “recover” lost passwords,Office Professional Plus, so protecting your VBA by using this procedure should not be considered a fool-proof security method. However, it’s a good way to keep people from accidentally changing the code. A more robust way to protect your VBA code is to convert the database to an .accde or .mde file, as described in this Office.com article.
