Hey Boblarson,
I know you have mentioned the name of companies, but I believe they too use some software or low-level data reading techniques to extract your data.
Thanks,

Well..,, If all the above resolutions fail to recover VBA codes, then I would suggest you to use a third-party tool.I have read that these tools also recover password-protected VBA codes. Go to "datarecovery-info" website for detailed information of such products.
