Ross,
You have a reference to Rich TextBox Control 6.0 in the add-in that causes an error on my XP/2003 system. No problem though because there is an option to uncheck the reference, and it doesn't appear the addin uses it anyway because it works perfectly after clearing the reference.

You are 100% correct..........I suppose a this is a universal way to run new code on a VBA protected worksheet; simply place the code you desire to run in another workbook, save as an addin, then import the addin into the protected sheet. Good stuff.

Thanks for the Tip.

Ross: if you feel like it, post the code and we'll give it a whirl....

also, one can use a vba "crack" tool if they are desperate to open a locked VBA project (I hear avprp.exe never fails).

I made this, one of thoes thing you start, but never finish: It work ok, but needs more work, which i might do one day.
It was not for opening up xlveryhiden from closed projects but it seemed to work when i tested, might be worth a try?

let me know

John,

You make a good point, I made the assumption the workbook was unprotected. I’m unaware of how to accomplish this with a protected project.

The code works OK if you can get into the project, but how would you approach the problem if the author had used VBA to set the visible properties of the hidden sheets to “xlVeryHidden” and then locked and passcoded the project? — Just a thought.

Good point Jon.

My stubornness towards the immediate window and msgbox habits have been tough ones to conquer. Thanks.

You don't need to add a module for a small, temporary macro like this.

In the immediate window, type this line and press Enter:

For Each WS in Worksheets : WS.Visible = True : Next

Much faster.
