How to hide Macros or password protect in Powerpoint 2013 - macros

Hello all I made a PowerPoint that is heavily on the macros the problem is I don't want the users to see the macro's. Is there a way to protect my code or am I just SOL?
Thank you for any help on this.

In the VBA IDE:
Tools | Project Properties | Protection tab
Checkmark next to "Lock project for viewing"
Type a password, confirm it, click OK then save the presentation.
It's not totally secure by any means, but it'll keep most users out of your code.

How to make vs code extension take in user path input and how to create coding templates

for my internship I am making an VS code extension. I have never developed anything like this before so any help or documentation links or tips are welcome.
what I am doing is as follows: develop an extension that is capable of taking in user input. the input will be a path to an .isf/.hdf file. this could be thru the simplest of text box buttons initially, as functionality before polish is what im focusing on right now.
It also needs to be able to provide templates with preconstructed code. such as, a option on the file menu where it might say "new template.py file". And when this option is choosen, a .py file with a lot of "boiler-plate" or preconstructed code is created for them.
im also using CanvasJS to show some graphical data. I would need a way for the graph to appear in a tab/window of the VS Code rather than the browser of the user.
Thank you in advance! Please let me know how to edit/add to this question, I know its extremely vague. Still a novice but excited to get this extension developed!
P.S.
im not expecting anyone to DO this for me, just to point me in the general direction so I can sink my teeth into useful documentation, examples, and/or tutorials. Thanks again :)

Add-in disappearing from customers' ribbon in Word desktop

We are getting an increased number of reports from customers that our add-in sporadically disappear from the ribbon in Word. It is a problem for us as people don't use what they can't see and many are very un-tech savvy and don't know how to reactivate add-ins (especially if they are used to have their central admin push them out to them).
Is this a known issue? Is there any setting in the manifest file that we might have missed? We would appreciate any information that might point us in the right direction to solve this.
First of all, I'd suggest making sure the add-in is available and loaded by host application.
Second, I'd recommend checking whether any ribbon UI errors are thrown by the host application. By default, if an add-in attempts to manipulate the Microsoft Office user interface (UI) and fails, no error message is displayed. However, you can configure Microsoft Office applications to display messages for errors that relate to the UI. You can use these messages to help determine why a custom ribbon does not appear, or why a ribbon appears but no controls appear.
To show add-in user interface errors you need to start the application and configure the following option:
Click the File tab.
Click Options.
In the categories pane, click Advanced.
In the details pane, select Show VSTO Add-in user interface errors, and then click OK.
See How to: Show Add-in user interface errors for more information.

VBA to Set All Controls in All Forms

Periodically, my database gets slow and I have to create a new database and import all my forms, etc. into the new database. For some reason, all my form control settings (Access Theme, etc.) gets lost and I have to manually go through every control on every form to reset it to the way I like it.
My question is:
Is there a way to keep all my form control properties and settings when I import them into the new database?
If not, how would I use VBA to do this for me automatically... looping through all the controls on all my forms to set all the properties to the way I like it? And, even more specific, I have a Sample Form with one of each control with all the properties set the way I want. So, how could I open this Sample Form and read each control's properties to copy to all the same controls on all my forms?
Performing a "Compact & Repair Database" action under the file tab will speed up your slow database. So you will not have to export and create a new instance of the database.
Microsoft does a good job of explaining
hope this helps
I Compact and Repair all the time.
I found the answer to my question: When I create a new database and import the forms from my old, slow, database, Access asks if I want to import the Themes along with the forms and, when I check this box, it copies all the forms' formatting, colors, etc. I think you have to click the Advanced button (or something like that) to see this option when you're in the Forms tab.

Customize basic search form and provide appropriate search results

In basic search form I have included checkboxes to detect duplicates on name & phone number.
How shall i proceed further.I have included fields on /custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/SearchFields.php and searchdefs.php.
Please help.
SugarCRM's Basic and Advanced Search field arrnagements can (and should) be configured using the Studio Tool. Log in as a System Administrator, click the Admin link in the top right corner and find the link for Studio
Within Studio, navigate to the module you're like to configure, go into Layouts, then Search, then Basic Search. The screen arrangement can be configured using drag-and-drop 'bricks' to represent the fields. All database fields for the module can be added to the Basic or Advanced search filters.
The screen can be configured using code, but I don't see why you would opt to do that. If you do, though, be sure to clear your cache using Repair and Rebuild or by enabling Developer Mode in the System Settings.

How can I create input field/form in excel?

I need to create input form in excel, but the ones I found are quiet different from what I need.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxLNQnK5luweby1KYXRqR2c5ZjA/edit?usp=sharing
Here, you can see the type of form I need to create. Its an excel file with such form, but the macros are password protected, so I cannot see nothing more than the ready form.
Any help is most appreciated.
that's not a form, that file just uses some cells as a form. if you are googling forms for vba you will not find your answer.
if you need to add controls to your fomr you need to enable developer ribbon.
go to file>options>custumize ribbon then check Developer, now you can add butons like the save one to your excel sheet.
then rigth click that button and assign the macro that will do the job.
Hope it helps
If you need to view the macro you can right click on the worksheet and select view code, if the vba is protected there is software that will retrieve the password if you have forgotten it
