How To Open Another Workbook That Is Password Protected
Nov 7, 2011
Code:
Sub Open_Test_File()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open("DesktopTest File.xls")
End Sub
This very simple little code opens a new workbook.
But if I add a password to the file that I'm going to open the password box appears.
What do I need to add to this code to automatically input this password?
I have tried putting this at the end:
Code:
Password:="123"
but this does not work?

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 having an issue with a macro to open password protected workbooks. The macro works just fine in opening the files and whatnot, but for some reason it prompts me to enter the password again once the file has been opened. Funny thing is I can either hit OK or hit Cancel and it goes to the next file. All files open correctly, I was just curious as to why this is happening and how to correct it?

I have a master for each manager that pulls a few values from each of their employees personal sheets.
The personal sheets (about 30) are individually password protected so only the owners can open them.
This is creating a security issues as the links in the master require the passwords for each of the "source" workbooks.
Is there any way to add some code so that the passwords do not need to be entered each time?

My question is as follows:
I have two workbooks in the same folder on a shared drive. Workbook2 is linked to workbook1. I have protected Workbook1 with a password protected to limit access.
When my collegues who use workbook2 try to open it, it asks for the password for workbook1 before opening. When they ignore that and go a head to open the file. The new information from workbook1 is not updated into workbook2.
How can i mentain my password in workbook1, and keep the files linked such that they can be able to see the new information in workbook2 without knowing the password for workbook1.

I've got two files: the one that is the source file and the second one which is the target file. The target file is password protected (let us take the number 1 as the password in this case). I have a macro that would copy the value of an example cell to the target file:
Sub iso()
Dim wBook As Workbook
Range("A2").Activate
ActiveCell.Copy
On Error Resume Next
Set wBook = Workbooks("Test2.xls")
If wBook Is Nothing Then
ChDir "D:"
Set oWB = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="D: est2.xls")
to add a line (or two) to this code, that would open and unprotect the target file and then at the and protect the target file with the same password.

I've 10 workbooks (which represent different areas around the factory) that populate a master workbook (belonging to HR).
We've now started to password protect the 10 workbooks. When i open the master workbook and click update - i get prompted to enter the passwords of the 10 workbooks
My question - is it possbile to automatically have the passwords entered so that the master can get updated?

In my office, our colleague locked his macros before he left. Now, I would like to continue in that but I have no idea, how to get into macro - to study it and change it as needed now.
How to open it?

I was handed a workbook that is password protected. The worksheets are not password protected. Because the workbook is protected, I cannot add or delete worksheets.
I figured that I could get around this by copying the worksheets to another workbook, but I can't even do that. Naturally, no one remembers what the password is.

I have a workbook with the following
Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Occ-Rent-Concess Worksheet").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="pass"
ActiveSheet.Select
Cells.Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="pass"
pass:
UserName = InputBox("Enter Log On Name to Continue..............................................
This code opens a msgbox that asks for a password and then unlocks certain cells based on what the password is. I have 140 of these workbooks. I need to be able to open them all and change one cell in each file, save it and close. I've gotten the macro written to open, change and save the files, but I am still having to type the 'password' 140 times. Is there a way to bypass it?

Password protected VBA module causes Excel to crash on debugs. Macros work fine if I open VBE and enter my password.
I'm using Range.("This range does not exist").Select to force a debug.
If I run my macro without entering my module password, the debug window appears and Excel crashes.
If I run my macro after entering my module password, the VBE window opens and it debugs normally.
I'm 90% sure the password protection is the problem. I want to keep my code password protected, but I don't want my project to crash on an error.

I have a master document which maintains employees vacation an lieu time. I want to create a document for each employee where they can view all of their own person information by linking it to the master. The only problem is is that the master document is password protected. They can't have the password or they could access the master document and other employees confidential information. Is there a way to update there own document without entering the password or codon so the password automatically enters without them seeing it.

I have an add-in which I want to share with others, but I want to protect the code from modification.
I know how to apply a password to a VBA project (Tools -> Project Properties -> Protection) but the problem is this: when a colleague installs the add-in, the subroutines within the add-in are not available in the Macros list to be added to the ribbon (in the Customize Ribbon window). The subroutines only appear when I remove the password.

I have the following VBA in my spreadsheet.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("kellyz")
If Intersect(Target, Columns("o:o")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For Each C In Intersect(Target, Columns("O:O"))
[Code] ......
As soon as i type anything in the columns, my sheet is unprotected. I need the sheet protected so that the users can not change my formulas.

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.

I want to create a simple form for employees to enter their number of hours worked for the day. Driver name, Start Time, Finish Time and date. I need this information to populate an excel spreadsheet but I don't want the employees to be able to view the data that is being put in. Also possibly throw an error if the same employee accidentally enters their information twice.

I read somewhere that password of a protected excel sheet is located in the sheet itself , hidden somewhere. So , it can be located by some "curious" ones.
Second question is , how can we find that password and prevent anyone from detecting it?

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
