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?
