By the way, has anyone added in personal macro's into the add-in or
changed some of the functions around to better suit their needs? It's
a shame that personalization is so difficult on software like this, but
hopefully places like this make it a little easier.
I am the author of DigDB, my name is Weizhen.
I don't quite understand the rationale in your message. DigDB is not a
corporation like Microsoft or Apple. Instead, it's a programmer's work
and life.
Why would you give the password to someone you don't even know? You
know most of the Excel users are in big corporations and you are
helping the corporation to rob a programmer. What's your rationale for
doing this?
You are already benefiting from accessing the source code and modifying
it for your job. In other words, you already benefited from this
programmer's labor, and your payback is only to hurt his work and life.
VBA's password protection is not hard to get around. Everybody knows
that. What's hard is to build a product and sell it.
My hope is that techinical people are more reasonable and do things in
a reasonable way. Note that I am not saying ethical or legal - just be
reasonable, is that too much to ask from you?
If you are reasonable, then I kindly ask you to delete this post. You
are already benefiting from my work, why hurt me? Why help people you
don't know or help those corporations to save their cost?
Regards,
Weizhen
If you're worried about losing business, you shouldn't be. The
majority of the people who would want the password probably want to
change something around. I've looked at the code in detail and unless
the person is a programmer, they wouldn't be able to 'crack' it with
just the password anyway. And for the people who do want to crack the
program, they certainly wouldn't need this site because, like you said,
VBA is not hard to get around.
