Hi Cyrus,
I am the author of XLAtoXLS which decompiles XLA Add-Ins to the VBA
XLS source workbook.
There are two flavours available:
Version 1 is itself an XLA but can be defeated by protection on the
sheets and workbook.
Version 2 is a complete rewrite in C/C++ and compiled into an XLL. It
can overcome password protection, but is only available in 16-bit
(i.e. Excel 5) format for the moment.
You can download demo versions of XLAtoXLS from:
http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~cpoxon/Excel/xlatoxls.htm
or
ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/win3/excel/xlatoxls.zip (v1)
ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/win3/excel/xla2xls2.zip (v2)
(or any Winsite mirror)
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Regards,
Craig Poxon
