    VBA Project password recovery

    I've been sent a faily complex Excel workbook to lookthrough that has a fair amount of VBA behind it. Unfortunately the numpty who wrote it put a password onn it and didnt keep a record of it anywhere. Does anyone know a way of breaking or removing the password from the VBA module without having to shell out for a piece of commercial software?

      I tried lostpassword software - could only do 1 of the 23 documents I needed to open.

      decryptum.com - managed to do them all very quickly - $29 per upload.

        I've got one. If you trust me with the excel sheet I can remove the password for you.

        PM me if interested.
