I have workbook A and Workbook B, both of which have a password on th
workbook and on read-only password...

While running A, I need to call a sub within B, without B being open..
THe problem has been that no matter what I try, B opens up, and ask
for the password... Is there anyway to reference the method in
without B opening up, given that B is password protected?

Thanks,
Vigg

Hi Viggy,

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this. You must open a workbook in
order to call any code that it contains.

Hi
for referencing a method you HAVE to open the other workbook. One way
would be to use
workbooks.open
together with the password of this file

Whats the syntax for opening the file with the password?

(i'm assuming something along the lines of :
Open.file password:= "stuff")

Also, is there a way to open the file, such that the user can't se
that its open

Hi
just look at the Excel VBA help :-)

e.g.
Sub foo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:="D:\temp\test.xls",
WriteResPassword:="your_password"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Workbooks("MyBook.xls").Open password:="MyPassword"

The easiest way is to save it as a hidden workbook. Choose Window/Hide
from the Excel menu and save it that way from the Visual Basic Editor.
