Dim VBC As Integer
    VBC = -1
    On Error Resume Next
    VBC = wb.VBProject.VBComponents.Count
    On Error GoTo 0
    If VBC = -1 Then

    "Hi, I simply want to protect my VBA code in Excel from people. They must still be able to use the worksheets as they see fit but not see my code. Anyone know how I do this?

    If your reply is password protection, how do I do that? I also understand that a determined hacker could probaly get to the code anyway."
