DAO Query On Password Protected File: Could Not Decrypt File
Dec 9, 2006
I have an existing application that uses DAO sql queries to populate a form. It has always worked fine. Earlier this week, I password protected the spreadsheet. Now my DAO query fails. I get a run-time error '3161'. Could not decrypt file.
' Const stExtens As String = "Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;"
Const stExtens As String = "Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;PWD=money16;"
Private Sub Execute_Query(SQL)
'Instantiate the DAO objects.
strDb = ThisWorkbook.FullName
Set DAO_ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
' code fails on the line below
Set DAO_db = DAO_ws.OpenDatabase(strDb, False, True, stExtens)
Set DAO_rs = DAO_db.OpenRecordset(SQL, dbOpenForwardOnly)
End Sub
I have written a macro to select a range of cells one by one and open the excel files mentioned in them and execute a task. It works fine. But I want the system to see if the file exists in its folder or if the file is password protected (for opening). Either of the case the file should be skipped without a warning message and any attempt to open. I need a macro for that. Following is the way the cell contents are
I:ORDERSS-S 10ALIYAMARKET ORDERSADDADD-LADIES-LEGGINGS-13246.xls I:ORDERSS-S 10ALIYAMARKET ORDERSADDADD-LADIES-PANTS-13247.xls I:ORDERSS-S 10ALIYAMARKET ORDERSADDADD-LADIES-SHORTS-13244.xls I:ORDERSS-S 10MICHELLEGAMESWORLDWIDE COMPANYWORLDWIDE COMPANY - GAMES - 10014.xls
And following is the VBA code I wrote. It it almost stops when reaching a non-existing file name
I've got a spreadsheet that has password protection before you can "modify" it. All of a sudden today, when I open the spreadsheet and enter the correct password, it still opens but only as Read Only.
I am trying to import data into Excel from a webpage using the web query function; however, the webpage requires a login and password. I have the required login and password, but I cannot figure out how to make excel automatically input these into the correct fields and login in order to import the data.
Since I am trying to make all of our databases update automatically, I don't want to enter this info everyday when the macro runs.
In order to get inventory data from our Incode database, I've been creating an output file with the extension .IRP Thinking that excel would not bring in this data from the .IRP file directly, I would then create a txt file of it with notepad. I've recently discovered that I can bring it in directly from the .IRP
The file being created is in this format:
IN Stock Status Report - 6385.IRP
The number portion, 6385 in the name will vary everytime I generate a new report. However the text portion will not.
Currently, I've recorded a macro the bring in the data to my excel spreadsheet.
But it will only bring in data for the set filename.
When opening a new Excel file, it is asking me for a password to an old excel file that was password protected, which I have deleted from my computer. It is still asking for this password every time I open a new or existing file. When I hit cancel it lets me open the file.
I have an Excel File and I have created some code. I locked the VBA Project where that code is contained..... However when I work with the excel executing the mentioned code and after that I try to save it with the information resulting, Excel shows me the following message: "YOU CAN NOT SAVE TO THIS FILE FORMAT WHEN THE VBA PROJECT IS PROTECTED. YOU MAY UNPROTECT THE VBA PROJECT BY CHOOSING THE PROPERTIES COMMAND ON THE VISUAL BASIC EDITOR’S TOOLS MENU, AND ENTERING THE PASSOWORD FOR THE ACTIVE PROJECT....."...
I have a spreadsheet, which has certain worksheets that are password protected. I need to make changes to some of the formulas, and the VBA modules, however I cannot remember the password!! Is there a way of identifying the password??
I have a file used by numerous facilties. I would like code to track any time a protected sheet has been unprotected / protected. I would also like the stamp to show the user data if that can be done.
Workbook Password Protect 2 Levels. I have managed to write simple but effective code that allows only one password to be enetered to open a SS & offers 3 levels of protection, limited permission to enter data, read-only & data completely hidden. This is excellent for my needs however I want the user who has limited rw to be able to insert a pic file which is their signature but because the sheet has protected cells it won't allow user to insert picture jpg file.
I have just thought of a creative solution tho. What if the picture file is already saved in the workbook and by using code to ask to insert pic file it copies from one location in SS to the appropriate cell in the worksheets?
The scenario is that I have fortnightly timesheets in 12 calendar months in 12 separate sheets. When staff member fills in timesheet I want them to insert signature for that f/night indicating thatthey have filled it in & it is correct but because of protection it won't allow me to.
Is it possible for Excel file to be open with 2 password? Like, if password is equal to "Password1" the file can be edited but if password is equal to "Password2" the file will be open as read only, if so, VBA code.
I have a macro that opens Spreadsheet_A, copies the contents to Spreadsheet_Master, closes Spreadsheet_A, then repeats the process for Spreadsheet_B then ss_C then ss_D etc etc etc.....
Each spreadsheet is password protected, and the password is the same for all spreadsheet to stop casual browsing only. I have set the password.
When I run the macro, I have to type the password in each instance, ie 20 or more times for 2 or more files.
Anyone know the code to insert so the spreadsheet opens without my typing the password.
[It's Excel 2007, but I presume the same code as Excel 2003]
I tried to research this as much as I could, the thread below is a start but doesnt appear to be close...my request is a bit of a variant to this. I essentially need code that prevents someone from saving the file unless they have the right password.
A client has sent me an Excel workbook that appears on the screen with the message adivising that it is Protected View as a result of having been downloaded from the internet. If I click on the Enable Editing button the workbook is completely deactivated. I have played around with my Trust Centre settings but nothing seems to work.
I need to get the data from an MDB file. No problems normally but in this case the MDB is protected with a workgroup file (MDW) from the old user level permissions that was available in Access.
Is it it possible to get data from the Data ribbon from a protected file or do I need to resort to vba?
I found a function to set the password a an excel file:
========================================= Function SetPwd(strNoPwdFile As String, _ strPwdFile As String, _ Optional strOpenPwd As String, _ Optional strModPwd As String) ' As Boolean ' This function requires the following arguments: ' strNoPwdFile - The path to a document without a password. ' strPwdFile - The path and name to save the password- ' protected document. ' But the compiler said that it is syntax error.
Is there a way to write somethign that will go to a particular folder on your computer and bring back the Names of all files in that folder?
I need to build a sheet that lists certain information from each file, which is already included in the file name - trying to avoid opening hundreds of files just to get data from one cell....for example:
I have a large text file (greater than 64k lines) which I need to import into excel. I only need anything imported from the text file that is for dates I specify. So I would like to run a line by line query and only import the lines I need.
The dates are always in position 43-50 (dd-mm-yy) in the text file itself, so the code would have to look at that section, see if the date is within the range specified and only import if it is (and then move onto the next line).
My boss has come to me and asked how does she get her file to go back to the way it was before, she had a password on the file but you used to be able to click on a button that said "Read only" this button no longer appears and i am unable to get it back. I still get the password box pop up but it is smaller and does not contain the read only button.
I was able to get some help a while ago and hoping for someone to reply as well. Any one have ideas how to create a userform which will be use for username and password input? I know how to create one but is there anyway that the username and password will be stored as .txt file instead of using worksheet to store the data?
In wrote a workbook in Excel 2003 that is causing me a problem I can not seem to figure out. The workbook consists of multiple worksheets that work using both VBA code or cell formulas. The worksheets are protected (though w/o a password) to prevent users from accidently altering a cell formula. When the code needs to write to a cell, it first unprotects the sheet, writes to the cell(s), and then reprotects the sheet.
Everything seems to work fine, often for several months. Then somehow something goes wrong. Specifically, after double-clicking on the ListBox in the worksheet “CRI Calculator” to pick a drug name, it will improperly present a dialog box (see attached screen capture 'Unprotect Sheet DialogBox.JPG') prompting the user for a password to unprotect the worksheet. Again, no password has ever been set; I have tried entering nothing, “password”, and "anonymous". Regardless of how you respond, an error code “Run-time error ‘1004’: The password you supplied is not correct…” occurs. If I press Debug, it takes me (ironically) to the following line of code
1. In centain directory I have xls files where name of each file starts from "HR" string, eg. "HG_Control Mike.xls", ora "HR_Control Mark.xls". 2. I have a master xls file where I want to start a macro that will open each of xls "HR" files and copy selected rows to this master xls workbook (need to write this one too).
Problem is that opening of every "HR" files suposed to be protected by password. Users will be adding new xls "HR" files to the directory so I will not be able to change macro everytime new xls is added. So, I need to make a macro that will generate password base on xls "HR" file name and then I will use this password to protect this files and open them by another macro.
When I opened up the excel file, it prompted me to plugin password. There is no read-only option too. how can i open it up, i tried download some password protector software to crack it, it is only limited demo which mean can open that file partially not full indeed
I have a large text file (greater than 64k lines) which I need to import into excel. I only need anything imported from the text file that is for dates I specify. So I would like to run a line by line query and only import the lines I need.
