I just saw the email for the new version. If I get XLS Padlock 2024.2, will this issue go away so I can start distributing my app? Thanks Dan

Hi, Trying to figure out how to use VBA functions such as VBA.Left() or VBA.Split() The VBA compiler doesn’t recognize these and the documentation only mentions using Application dot (.), so is there a way to use in-build VBA functions other than using Application.Worksheetfunction functions...

Hey guys, any luck so far? I can’t distribute my app until we figure out why XLSPadlock won’t protect it. I appreciate any help. Thanks Dan

ok, I sent a Dropbox link instead a few days ago. Thanks Dan

Thank you - just sent it over. Dan

I don’t mind to share it with you. You guys are trustworthy! How can I submit it securely to you? Thanks Dan

Please let me know if there are other ways to determine what’s wrong with the file. For all intents and purposes, this is a normal macro enabled Excel file. I wasn’t aware of Excel features that XLS Padlock can’t protect, such as macros or Pivot tables. Is there a way to debug the issue...

Using Microsoft 365, it was current but I went ahead and did an Office Repair, both Quick Repair and then the full Online Repair. Still getting errors. I kept a log of all the different tests I tried by starting with a fresh workbook and incrementally adding features. It saved fine until I...

I ran the document inspector and removed everything except pivot tables and VBA and the problem persisted. Here’s the order I went in when removing things and retrying: Thanks Dan

Will do - THANKS!! Dan

bumping this post in case nobody saw it.

Here are my settings: Please help me figure out why mine won’t save but the Markbook Demo on the XLS Padlock website will save just fine. Thanks Dan

Hi, When I open my EXE file and make a change and try to save, it always gives the following errors and will not allow saving, even though I have the settings for it to allow saving. See screenshots below. BTW, the markbook Demo from the XLS Padlock website saves perfectly, so I don’t know what...

That is super weird indeed. I’m not exactly sure how to reproduce these conditions that caused this issue. You did have Excel and MS Office installed prior to this, right? When you say you installed the XLSX file, you just mean you copied a file, not an installation of MS office, right? Thanks Dan

That’s horrible. So sorry to hear that happened. Any clue what happened and do you know if it was only that particular computer or were there other computers affected? Also curious if you have hardware locking or other security measures instead. Thanks Dan

Hi @gdgsupport /Guillaume/ anyone, Any progress on this? So exciting! There’s a lot of people who would like to make addins but can’t because there’s no protection. Here’s some use cases https://stackoverflow.com/users/9250452/tomek198823 https://jkp-ads.com/articles/distributemacro06.aspx...

So freaking excited. Thanks, guys!!

That’s awesome. I’d love to be able to sell an add-in that maybe contains some modules and/or userforms or classes so people can use my product but I don’t give away the source code. Do you know when we can start testing it. Do you need testers? 🙂

Hi xlspadlock_user, It’s my understanding that the EXE is the magic here. It creates a virtual environment that covers and shell’s the actual Excel file in a sort of random file location each time it runs, very difficult to sniff out. Not only that but the EXE is what gives your Excel file all...
