It can be done, but it involves the use of SendKeys which isn't too stable.

This is an example, but you may need to tune it

With Application
.SendKeys "%{F11}", True ' VBE
.SendKeys "^r", True ' Set focus to Explorer
.SendKeys "{TAB}", True ' Tab to locked project
.SendKeys "~", True ' Enter
.SendKeys "password"
.SendKeys "~", True ' Enter
End With

Hi,

is it possible to unprotect a password-protected excel-addin by code or
does
the user needs to enter it allways manually? neither the unprotect method
of
the coressponding workbook object nor the password-parameter of the "open"
function seems to do what I need :-(

kind regards
