This is tested and works in Excel:
Sub AAATEst() Dim wkbk As Workbook On Error Resume Next Set wkbk = Workbooks.Open("C:\Data6\AAABook.xls", _ Password:="", WriteResPassword:="") On Error GoTo 0 If wkbk Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Has Password" End If End Sub It will open a workbook that is not password protected. don't know if it will work for .Net. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Tim Marsden" wrote in message ...

Just replace "C:\Data6\AAABooks.xls" with a variable
How you populate that variable would be different in .Net than I would od it in Excel VBA. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Jack" wrote in message ... Thanks for your code Tom, Works beautifully...
