Opening password protected files
 

I want to open a number of other files that are password protected from
my main file. I know all the passwords and want to use code to
automatically open and close the files after getting data from each
file.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Nick

Opening password protected files
 

Thanks Tom that solves one problem, I am using links and in order that
dont receive the updating links warning message open one file fro
another with the following code

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim strPath As String

strPath = "\\Fiesta\Wg_memb_sec\Community Dividend\Ne
Payments\Admin\Chq Details\"

Workbooks.Open strPath & "Cheque Payment Run.xls", UpdateLinks:=True
Windows("Payment Control.xls").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=False

End Sub

Can I add code so that I will not have to manually enter all th
passwords for the 7 linked files.

Thanks

Nick
