How to compile Excel workbook to EXE file. Before protect your workbook with XCell Compiler you need to enable “Trust access to the VBA project object model” MS Excel option via the following path: Excel Options >> Trust center >> click button “Trust Center Settings” >> Macro Settings >> enable check box “Trust access to the VBA.
Office VBA protection is infamous for its weakness. Numerous blog posts describe how to reset password locked VBA projects using free tools. In addition, several companies have published professional password breakers to automate code recovery. Products that convert Excel workbooks into executables (.exe) most often limit Excel's functionality, depend on runtime DLLs and may trigger anti-virus warnings when executable files are distributed. Needless to say that executables cannot be loaded as native Excel VBA add-ins.
Is a set of techniques that hide the intent of an Excel VBA program without changing its runtime behavior. It is difficult to obfuscate complex VBA programs without breaking them. In addition, visible obfuscated source code can reveal valuable bits and pieces of information to a potential attacker. For years, I have been intrigued with the idea of removing editable VBA code from macro-enabled Office files. Unfortunately, Excel doesn't offer a file format similar to MDE in Access.
Ucinet cracked. Our Secure++ VBA windows application (written in Delphi) can convert macro-enabled workbooks or add-ins along the sames lines of an Access MDE/ACCDE file. However, our solution doesn't alter file extensions (.xlam,.xlsm,.xlsb, pptm, ppam). Secure++ files are normal OpenXML containers, which contain compiled VBA code only.
We believe that compiled VBA code is as secure as a Visual Basic 6 compiled DLL. If your VBA application runs in Office 64-bit, so will its Secure++ version (VB6 cannot run under Office 64-bit). Simply put, I love the Secure++ VBA application!
Airpath compass fluid. These digital instruments incorporate analog style graphical elements (such as bar graphs), but add intelligence from the microprocessor age (12V power required).
I have used it several times to protect VBA code in my addin files (.xlam). I work for a non-profit organization in their headquarters and my daily duties involve computation and calculation of complex financial analysis. Though, by profession I am not a developer, I have been using Excel and VBA solutions for more than a decade.
I develop custom solutions in Excel and other popular applications to increase the productivity of myself and that of my colleagues at work. One challenge I had, was that my custom user defined functions (UDFs) were poorly protected.
The non-profit organization where I work, employs approx 7000 employees around the globe. I was frustrated when I learned that intruders were hacking my VBA projects. I like sharing my knowledge, but not my personal custom VBA solutions. I could have wrapped my code in DLL, but I wanted a simple solution without any change to the existing addin file format (xlam) I was hoping that someday there will be a software that can protect VBA projects and make them unbreakable, and here is the Secure++ application! My dream has finally come true:-) Secure++ VBA does exactly what it says on the tin and I love it. I have published my feedback online and referred several Excel community users to use Secure++ VBA, if they really want their VBA unbreakable.

From an Excel MVP (May 2015). • File size is slightly reduced as VBA code is purged from workbooks and add-ins • Secure++ files can run in both Office 32/64-bit • Use of password breakers, hex editors or any other hacking tool will simply corrupt your workbook or add-in, instead or recovering any readable macros. • VBA projects are locked in an unviewable state, as code editing is impossible. The Debug button is shown a disabled state in unhandled runtime errors. • Macros are neither visible, nor can be launched from the Macro name box (Developer tab/Macros). Public macros cannot be run using shortcut keys e.g.
Ctrl-D • Code debugging is not possible in VBE, as VBA code cannot be shown. Please ensure that your application is thoroughly debugged and uses robust error handling routines. Automation errors cannot be trapped in a compiled application.
