Default Handle password for open workbook?

I would like to have password for opening workbook. This is easy, but I
would like to use VBA to enter password when asked, so that I don't need to
manualy type every time. In this way when opening workbook I would have to
click on enable macro.
Is this possible or does exists some other way to solve this, can someone
help?

Thanks very much!!!

You can't have VBA code in the workbook enter the password; since
the workbook is not yet open, no VBA can be executed. The closest
you could get is to use another unprotected workbook to open the
target workbook, and supply the password in the Open method.
