Hi @gdgsoft @gdgsupport , Do you think you guys could devise a way to protect a Userform so that it could be sold as a product and secured from theft? Or an addin (as discussed in this feed a couple years ago)? This will enable excel developers to market their stuff without fear of it all...

That sounds interesting. How can I make an XLL file, please to test this out? Thanks Dan

Hi @gdgsupport and all, I’d like to allow my XLSPadlock locked Excel program to be able to utilize a dll file (with a COM/ActiveX control) without having to register the dll file. I’d like to see if the virtual environment within the protected workbook can utilize my activeX control file, even...

Understood. Here’s the link: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/96899c99d8dc9653bc18893a5a02aa5620210416213244/402af9 Thanks Dan

Sure! Where shall I send it or how shall I upload? Thanks! 😀 Dan

Yes, I did a message box that said it was 89. Should I have put quotes around 89, like “89” or ‘89’ ? Thanks Dan

For some reason it’s still not working. I tried it like this as well as with empty separator field. but the %displayMsg% is still returning true even when both variables are 0. MY IF-THEN STATEMENT {End If} Should I have the 1 be in quotes, like Operator: Equals Variable1...

I tentatively gave up on components working correctly and instead have all the files in “Main” folder with different names. The installer dumps all the files and just renames the actual file needed based on file version found. Thanks Dan

Hi all and @gdgsupport, I’m trying to perform a test to see if either variables are true or the value 1. My variables are %operaNoteBool% and %edgeNoteBool% I see that in my current test they are both returning zero (0), but my ‘Perform Operation on a Variable’ using varORBool is returning 1...

Hi All and @gdgsupport ! I’ve been at this all day and it’s time to ask for some help. I’ve figured out how to determine what version of chrome is installed by using: but then when I analyze the variable chromeVersion, I’m successful in setting the correct component variable based on its...

Hi @gdgsupport, Happy Tuesday! I had a student who is wanting to know if there’s a way to completely hide the File ribbon and the status bar entirely in order to give the appearance that this is a standalone application, independent of Excel vba. I’m curious if this can be done in a future...

Hi @dog, please check out https://www.xlspadlock.com/account/downloads Thanks Dan Strong, ExcelVbaIsFun

Yep! I found the setting and you’re absolutely right - it worked! Thanks so much for amazing support and amazing software as usual! Thanks Dan

Hi @gdgsupport , I didn’t explain perfectly. The PB executable needs to run SeleniumBasic-2.0.9.0.exe with Unelevated rights. The SeleniumBasic-2.0.9.0.exe file creates the directory, not PB. Then it needs to take the file from the package and place it in the %LOCALAPPDATADIR%\SeleniumBasic\...

Hi @gdgsoft and all, I tried executing an exe command, but it turns out I need Unelevated rights so the Exe file within Paquet Builder file will go to the AppData Local folder instead of Program Files. So I read in the documentation that I can use “Open the file” and check the Unelevated box...

Hello @gdgsupport and all, I was wondering if there’s a way to run windows API calls in the compiler (or some workaround to more easily conceal passwords in the vba compiler when connecting to something online via Windows API), such as ftp, online databases, etc? If I try any Private Declare...

Possibly. I’m not sure the technicalities, but an XLAM is just an excel file that is invisibly opened along with the user’s primary excel documents, similar to the personal.xlsb file. It enables people to use its functions or subs, but I believe password hacking programs can surely crack these...

Hi @rolo and @gdgsupport, I agree. If there was a way to protect .xlam files (Excel Add-Ins), this would likely double your sales, because currently the only true way to protect an add-in is with Add-In Express and it’s expensive and not even VBA language. If we could protect an Add-In, we...

Hi @gdgsupport, If someone clicks Alt+F8, they potentially could run some or all macros at will, this could lead to unwanted results. Please let me know if you have some magic wand that could block this from opening as you did the Alt+F11 keyboard shortcut. You guys are wonderful! Thanks Dan

Dear @gdgsupport and all, Is there any way to disable the tiny button at the bottom that when clicked allows users to record macros with the macro recorder? Also, I discovered that my app still has the keyboard shortcut Alt+F8 that still works. This would allow users to manually run any macros...
