Hi all,

I Have recently written this piece of code so I just thought I would post it here for future reference should anyone be looking for vba code to lock\unlock a vbaproject programmatically without needing to use the unreliable SendKeys method.

workbook example

This code requires that the excel macro security setting "Trust access to the vba project object model" be checked... .Also, it is worth mentioning that this code is language-specific as it reads the VBE dialog captions. So this code won't work in Non-English editions of excel but, should be easy to adapt with some small changes.

The code was written and tested in excel 2016-64bit.

Code goes in a Standard Module:
VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

#If VBA7 Then

    'To lock the vbproject. (change workbook name as required)
        LockVBProject(WorkbookName:="MyTestBook.xls", Password:="1234") = True

End Sub


VBA Code: 
Sub UnLock_Example()

    'To un-lock the vbproject. (change workbook name as required)
        LockVBProject(WorkbookName:="MyTestBook.xls", Password:="1234") = False

End Sub

Hi Jaafar,
The code worked perfectly for one time and then, when run again, it does not read the password in LockVBProject(WorkbookName:="MyTestBook.xls", Password:="1234") = False
but rather, it brings up the regular Enter Password form, then, Excel crashes if trying to close the workbook! I tried to restart my computer in case there is a memory conflict, however, this did not resolve the issue. Any precautions I should take care of!
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi Zak
I have the exact same problem. Did you work out a solution?

Excel Facts

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Hi Jaafar, I worked out it was because I had a different project name and it changes the window caption. The code is great so thank you. I did have one other problem where the unlock was happening too slowly for the code I was running afterwards so I put some code in to wait for the result (I found this on stackflow..sadly I cannot re-find the post to give credit).

Application.VBE.CommandBars(1).FindControl(ID:=2578, recursive:=True).Execute

dim timeoutsecond as long: timeoutsecond = 2
' Loop until callback procedure 'UnlockTimerProc' has run
' determine run by watching the state of the global variable 'g_result'
' ... or backstop of 2 seconds max
timeout = Now() + TimeSerial(0, 0, TimeoutSecond)
Do While g_Result = 0 And Now() < timeout
DoEvents
Loop

This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing this code. Works a treat. 😁

What changes would be required to make this code work in other Office apps (Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio etc)?
I tried using it in PowerPoint and it errors here:

I am not familar with the PPT object model but it seems that it lacks the HWND Property.

Try retrieving the hwnd of the PPT application via code as follows:

Place the following in a new Standard Module :
VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

#If VBA7 Then
    Declare PtrSafe Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As LongPtr
#Else
    Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
#End If

#If Win64 Then
    Function PPTHwnd() As LongLong
#Else
    Function PPTHwnd() As Long
#End If
    PPTHwnd = FindWindow("PPTFrameClass", vbNullString)
End Function

Now, just replace each instance of Application.Hnwd located in the code with PPTHwnd

Tried your suggestion and added a second module. Unfortunately, the App crashes.
Secondly, I tried adding the code to the original module, only I added the declare lines to the Option Explicit from the original code:
1674426635797.png
... and then put the PPTHwnd functions just below that, however, when executed it crashes the application on this line:

Hi ABNOTECHGuy

The error in that line probably suggests the vbe control is not recognized in PPT which I find strange because I believe the VBE is identical accross all Office applications.

I am afraid, I don"t have PPT at hand at the moment. I will take a look at this again when ready.

I've worked out the issue with PowerPoint.

  1. In the "Protect_UnProtect_Routine', PowerPoint does not support the Application.OnTime method, so I just shortened the code to: Call SaveVBProjectChanges
  2. Private Sub SaveVBProjectChanges(), PowerPoint does not support the Application.EnableEvents method, so I just commented out the two lines:
    1. Application.EnableEvents = False
    2. Application.EnableEvents = True

Thank you Jaafar for sharing this!!

I have created a simple test, it works very good.

I open Monitor.xlsm which has your code above.
I have Applicator.xlsm where project is protected, I open it manually then I run the below code from Monitor.xlsm to test
VBA Code: 
Sub test()
    Dim test As String
    
    test = "Applicator.xlsm"
    LockVBProject(workbookName:=test, Password:=gadminPassword) = False
End Sub
And indeed the project for Applicator.xlsm is now unprotected, perfect!!!

Now when it comes to the real scenario, Monitor.xlsm is supposed to open Applicator.xlsm programmatically, unlock it and make some changes to its code then close it

VBA Code: 
....
        Set wbTarget = Workbooks.Open(targetFileName) 'this is Applicator.xlsm
        Call unlockVBAProject(wbTarget.Name)
....
wbTarget.Close Savechanges:=True

Sub unlockVBAProject(workbookName As String)
    'To un-lock the vbproject. (change workbook name as required)
        LockVBProject(workbookName:=workbookName, Password:=gadminPassword) = False

End Sub

Now in this case, I get the properties popup for Monitor.xlsm project and it does not Unprotect Applicator.xlsm project.

What am I missing? I spent countless number of hours trying to figure out why this is happening with no luck.
Can you please help?
Thanks
Dani

Hi Dani,
I am sorry but locking/unlocking vba projects programmatically is very frustrating. It works inconsistently at best so I have decided to give up trying to make it work or taking this further.

Regards.
