Solutions: A consultant had developed a number of fancy macros for a client, but didn't want the client to be able to see the macro's codes or make any changes. The client needed to be able to run the macro, but the consultant wanted the customer to have to use a password to go into Macro Edit. A password can not be placed on a macro file but can be kept read only by using the DOS ATTRIB command. To use the ATTRIB command one would type ATTRIB +R [macro file name] at DOS. With the +R attribute one will not be able edit the macro. The message "Access Denied" will appear when going into Macro Edit.
