Starting Protected AutoCAD VBA programs?

[muck]

I am getting ready to give a AutoCAD VBA program that I have written.

How do I write a macro to start the program at allows limited viewing and

code protection? I have allways used project explorier to double click a form to

start things. Now I need another way to start a protected copy of my program.

 

Thank you,

A VBA project (.DVB) can be password protected: See VBAIDE – Tools – Properties – Protection. That “protection” is not particularly robust as a few methods to crack the password are available on the internet.

 

The more bulletproof method would be to isolate the critical code logic by compiling it to a DLL with VB6. That DLL can then be referenced from a VBA project that contains only code enough to act a calling routine.
