intercepting password routines
I need to implement a scheme for acquiring a
workbook/spreadsheet password for both storage and retrieval of a file from a dongle. Is there a way to intercept the Excel built in functions for doing this and replace them with my own code? I was able to do this for Adobe pdf documents by creating an Adobe Add-In that replaced the standard product functions. I don't know if Microsoft office products (e.g. Word, Excel, Access, etc.) allow this capability. If this can be done, then what Microsoft tools will I need to acquire (e.g. Office Developer, Visual BASIC for Applications, etc)? Can you point me at any documentation that might save me time? Is there a recommended solution that would be version independent (i.e. supported on Excel 2000 as well as more recent versions)? |

intercepting password routines
I am not aware of any capability to redirect the entry of a password, but
you could emplace your own password capability by putting in code to prompt for a password. However, these are pretty weak and easily broken, especially by just disabling macros. So I really can't say this is something easily supported in Excel. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Dick B wrote in message ...
