Signaling the presence of a password
 

Hey there,

Is there a way to find out, from inside a workbook,
if that workbook is password-protected or not.

Why.....?
I have created a workbook with some specific functions in
the buttonbar that should only be available to users that
have their workbook protected by a password, if not than
these buttons will not be enabled. I do not have to know
the password, just the knowledge that there is a password.

Thanks beforehand

Perhaps

If ActiveWorkbook.HasPassword = True Then

I have never used it, but it is in the xl2002 object model. Can't say for
earlier versions.

If you have protected the workbook windows then there is a
read-only ProtectWindows property that you can check.
