[RESOLVED] hiding vba code in outlook

[bambo]

Hey,

with this forum great help, I've managed to write a small vba code for outlook.

I would like to:

1. distribute it to other computers (I guess I can copy paste the code but I'd like to know a more reasonable way) and,

2. hide it from the users (so that if they press alt+f11 they won't see my code)

thanks,

From the VBA IDE in Outlook "Tools > Project Properties... > Protection tab > check "Lock project from viewing" > enter a password and verify > Ok".

great. that helps a lot. what about distributing the code to other users. do I export each object to files and then import them back, or is there a way to export/ import the whole project?

by the way how do I credit you in this forum?

If your users are not using any Outlook VBA code already then you can copy the .OTM file, which contains the VBA code for thisoutlooksession, and paste it in the users directory while Outlook is closed.

C:\Documents and Settings\VB-Guru\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\VbaProject.OTM

Turns out that you did rate me back on 29th Dec 2005 14:13. So this means that you need to Rate 10 other members before you can rate me again.

Oh well.
