VBA - Check for password protection
I have written code to filesearch and then trawl the workbooks for any comments containing a particular string. However when the code is running, if a sheet is password-protected it prompts. Is there any way of checking to see if a file is PP'd without actually trying to open it and therefore getting prompted? code is as below: Set oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(strWkShtPathAndNme, 0, True) CIA, Matt. -- MattShoreson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MattShoreson's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3472 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=480862 |
VBA - Check for password protection
Hello Matt, Not to my knowledge. Opening the file is what places it into Excel's Workbook Collection. Until it is in the collection, VBA can't access the object's properties. Add to that password protection is an internal routine that isn't exposed outside of the Workbook. Maybe there is a way using some other language or method, but with VBA the answer is no.
