Did you try password protecting the project? Press ALT + F11, go to Tools > Properties and click the Protection tab.

The only way to guarantee that they can't edit your forms or vba code is to distribute as an MDE file (and what is so hard about that?). It isn't hard to create one. habbabub 09-14-2008, 05:50 PM awesome! that takes care of the VB but im still able to view/edit the forms, tables, querys etc is there additional settings i can change? shadow9449 09-14-2008, 05:51 PM The only way to guarantee that they can't edit your forms or vba code is to distribute as an MDE file (and what is so hard about that?).

SHADOW It will put some level of protection to the code, but that won't protect the forms from changing in design view. Plus there are password breakers out there that can easily hack in. shadow9449 09-14-2008, 06:11 PM It will put some level of protection to the code, but that won't protect the forms from changing in design view.
