vba macro open password protected workbook
 

How do I get a Macro to open a password protected workbook without prompting
the user for it? I have several users writing to the same file via macros but
I want to keep their information private from each other.

Just pass the password as an argument the same as you do with the wb path and
name. Something like this:

Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\gregtest.xls", Password:="greg"

If you press F1 on the word 'open', the help system will also tell you about
various other choices, such as update links, and read only. (If the help has
been installed OK!)
