Programming Excel with VBA
Adding descriptive information
Adding descriptive information is recommended but not necessary. Choose Office ➪ Prepare ➪ Properties
to display the Properties panel below the Ribbon. Enter a title for the add-in in the Title field. This text
appears in the Add-Ins dialog box. In the Comments field, enter a description. This information appears at
the bottom of the Add-Ins dialog box when the add-in is selected. See Figure 45.4.

Use the Properties panel to enter descriptive information about your add-in.
Protecting the project
In some situations (such as a commercial product), you may want to protect your project so that others
can’t see the source code. To protect the project, follow these steps:
1. Activate the Visual Basic Editor.
2. In the Project window, click the project.
3. Choose Tools ➪ project name Properties. The VB Editor displays its Project Properties dialog
box.
4. Click the Protection tab (as shown in Figure 45.5).
