Hello,

I am hoping you are able to assist.

I am trying to write a macro to open a workbook. The file requires a password to open it - this is my own workbook and i know the password.

Is it possible to write a code (similar to Workbooks.Open Filename etc) that allows you to enter the password automatically. I need to open the file when the macro runs, but not allow others to know the password.

I hope this makes sense.

Many thanks in advance,

Chris
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
What if the path has a folder with multiple xls's in it that each have the same password. This code references just a specific xls. Any way to modify it to open all xls's in same folder?

Thanks
