There is a password protection for them otherwise just create an MDE
for distribution (keeping the MDB for development).

Re: protecting VBA codes

But, you should be aware that the concensus opinion of experienced Access
developers is that they can recreate a database application in very little
time if they can observe the user interface in operation. That is a
concensus opinion with which I am in agreement, just for the record.

That's not to say you shouldn't use MDE, but only that you shouldn't believe
it will _really_ "protect you from having your application stolen".

They have redundancy in common.
