    There are two different passwords a PP Presentation can have:
    1. User needs password to open and view the file.
    2. User can open and view the file but needs password to edit the file.

    Chose one or both.

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.
