Hi

Business I work for has some fairly critical spreadsheets set up by a long past employee, nobody owns them and the source files all have VBA Projects that are password protected.

Any ideas how i can access the VBA code?

Thanks.

I actually managed after a bit more research to do it.

Save the file as a zip file edit "dbr" to "dbx" in the vbaProject.bin file with a hex editor and re zip and convert to .xlm, open and browse to VBA project ignoring all error messages and it will allow you to remove the protection.

Phew. Business risk gone
