Default Passwords on files used in calculation

Here's the situation - user has 15+ files that have unique passwords. They
also have one main file that they use to sum up the individual files.

When they open the main file it asks for the password for every file used in
the calc's. They want to avoid that.

My thought was to set up code to open all the individual files, using the
passwords, when the main file is opened. But my initial testing is showing
that the main file wants to update the linked info (the calc's) before it
runs the code in the Workbook_Open event.

Is there a better way to do this?

If not, can someone help me with the code. I have this in the Workbook_Open
sub of the main file and it gives me an Object Required error:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim wbk As Workbook

Set wbk =
Workbook.Open(Filename:="M:\XLDATA\Herb\Testing\Te st1\test1.xls",
password:="test1")

End Sub

Thanks!!
