Default how to bypass password??


hi i tried the password property but no help.

I managed to get it to work if i used the following

Sub Macro1()

'cancel password which is Stewart

'Dim extractor As String
'extractor = ThisWorkbook.Name

'make file read-only
Application.SendKeys ("%r") '("stewart~")
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\ME\Desktop\Test.xls"
Sheets("home").Select

' ActiveWindow.Close

End Sub

when I run the sendkeys function it works however it places the wor
stewart which is the password in my code any where that I have th
cursor. Is there a way I could stop this
