I have a corrupt file that i cant expand the project view on meaning i cant get to the point of seeing the modules and right clicking to export (it is password protecting and i am able to enter the password successfully)

Is there a way to export these modules using VBA when inside another workbook?

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK

Have you tried something like this assuming the corrupt excel file and the expoting workbook are both opened in the same excel instance:

Code:
Call Workbooks("[COLOR=#ff0000][B]Book2[/B][/COLOR]").VBProject.VBComponents("[COLOR=#ff0000][B]Module1[/B][/COLOR]").Export(...

Change the items in red to suit.

Thank you very much for the helpful code, i've been able to amend it to cycle through all the objects and extract. much appreciated.
