VBA Recovery Toolkit

The VBA Recovery Toolkit, developed by Thegrideon Software, is an incredibly useful tool that allows users to reverse engineer Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) projects. With this software, you can easily preview project settings, reset or edit them, recover and preview source code, and uncover potentially harmful hidden modules, among other things.

One of the most impressive features of the VBA Recovery Toolkit is the ability to change VBA project settings in the VBA IDE internal records without modifying a single bit in your file. As a result, you can reset or fix project access issues, regardless of the file format or program used to open it. This method works with all VBA projects in any VBA-featured document, including MS Office 97 - 2021 (MS Access, MS Excel, MS Outlook, MS Word, etc.), Visio, FrontPage, AutoCAD, WordPerfect, CorelDRAW, and Photo-PAINT.

In addition to its impressive capabilities with VBA projects, the VBA Recovery Toolkit also encrypts and decrypts Corel .gms files (CorelDRAW / Photo-PAINT). A built-in VBA code viewer with syntax highlighting and basic deobfuscation is available for AutoCAD (.dvb), CorelDRAW (.gms), Excel, Outlook (.otm), PowerPoint, SolidWorks (.swp), and Word, making it easy to quickly review and filter files with potentially harmful (hidden) modules. PROJECT stream and MS Office Custom UI (ribbons, toolbars) xml code are previewed as well.

For those who need even more control over their projects, the VBA Recovery Toolkit also offers an "advanced mode" that allows for on-the-fly PROJECT stream editing. This means that you can intercept VBA PROJECT streams loading and make changes as needed. For example, you can create a hidden module by removing module reference (e.g. "Module=Module1") or restore a hidden module by putting the missing reference back in. Overall, the VBA Recovery Toolkit is an incredibly powerful software that should be in every VBA developer's toolbox.
