If it helps, what I have been trying is as follows: Sub DoVBA() With regards providing code examples, I am a long-time user of Stack Exchange and am intimately familiar with the problem of new users asking questions along the line of 'Can you help me?' without actually showing their code: however questions will not always require code to be contained. Thus, is there a way to crack the MS Access VB Project password? Clarifications In my work environment I cannot install new software, and have no access to a hex editor. It seems that the script doesn't work across separate instances of the Application - even if they're both recognised at runtime. What I have tried is to create a new Access VB Project in a fresh Application: insert the password-removing modules as per the Excel answer then from that VB Project, execute a sub which creates a new Access Application, and load the protected database into it - before running the unprotect script. I can see no way to open multiple databases in the same Application. In Access, however, the Application object only holds one current database at a time.

I believe that this is because in Excel, the same Application object can contain multiple workbooks, and therefore even if one workbook's VB Project is password-protected, you can run this code from modules in a different workbook - and the protection-removal will apply to all workbooks in the Application.

While the code in the above-referenced answer doesn't appear to be application-specific, I can't get it to work with Access. An excellent guide to bypassing an Excel VB Project password can be found right here on Stack Overflow: Is there a way to crack the password on an Excel VBA Project? If this were Excel, it would be a simple matter. The Access database itself does not have a password, so I can open it: I just can't expand the VB Project tree in the VBE. I have an MS Access database which contains a password-protected VB Project.
