Default open w/book with password

I also overlooked that you have your password in cell R1 of Sheet 1 of the
workbook which is running the code. So here is a modified version that
should work. Also, on the Workbooks.Open line, if the "sales" wb is not in
the same folder as the ThisWorkbook, you will need to modify the path to
include the correct folder.

Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()
With Me.TextBox1
If .Text < ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") _
Range("R1").Value Then 'sheet1cell"R1" contains password
MsgBox "Invalid Password !", vbCritical
Else
pw = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("R1").Valu e
'assumes current path and xl2003 or earlier, if xl2007, need file ext.
mod.
Workbooks.Open (ThisWorkbook.Path & "\sales.xls", Password:=pw)
SelStart = 0
SelLength = Len(.Text)
SetFocus
Else: Unload Me
End If
End With
End Sub

Where you see <password, means you provide that string, without the
brackets. Everything else is as written. This corrects a typo in my
original posting.

Workbooks.Open (ThisWorkbook.Path & "\sales.xls", Password:="<password")

If you are using xl2007, the .xls file extension will need to be changed to
a four digit string, probably .xlsm
