Hi All,

I was accessing workbooks via Ron de Bruin's ADO examples without a hitch.
That is, until I encountered some workbooks that are protected.

Is there any way to unprotect a workbook without opening it?

Any input much appreciated.

Frid

No, you must open the workbook in order to unprotect it.
