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?
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

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.
