Default Unprotect and protect....

I have several Excel files password protected in some
different folders.

I'd like to unprotect and so protect all this files with
the same password. (I need to use Linkfixerplus to repair
the broken links)

I'd like to select the root folder and apply a macro,
script or software to unprotect and protect the Excel
files.

Is there a solution to apply to multiple files?

Thank you....

Default Unprotect and protect....

i think yes!


In my opinion, the best way to do this:

In a excel workbook Sheet

put in column A the fullpathname of the different protected workbooks.
in column B their passwords

the do a loopin for each cell in column A not empty
to open the files one by one to unprotect them with the passwor
located in column B to apply then a new protection "the new password t
save the workbook and to cloes it.

if the lopp does this you will accomplish the job.


PS: mandatory, keep the desired files fullpath and password in say
shee.
and open everyone of them to apply then the new password, to save the
later on
