copying data into a file with a modify pw & read-only recommended
I have a macro in sourceFile which opens a destFile to copy data from
sourceFile into destFile and then tries to save the destFile. My destFile in this case is one which has a modify password set and also has the open read-only recommended option set. What I am experiencing is that even though I enter the password when the prompt comes up when the destFile is opened and I click "ok" instead of "read only", the destFile is still opened as read-only. My question is: Is there a way to modify my code such that the destFile will NOT be opened read only when the proper password is entered when prompted? Excerpts of my code below - it all works except that destFile is always opened read only no matter what and therefore the line that saves the destFile gives an error. Thanks a lot. ' this is the file open sub Sub threed_file_open() fileOpened = False Application.DisplayAlerts = False Application.ScreenUpdating = False If Not fileSelected Then MsgBox "No 3D template file selected yet!" Exit Sub End If sourceFile = ActiveWorkbook.Name Workbooks.Open Filename:=sourceFileName, Notify:=False fileOpened = True destFile = ActiveWorkbook.Name Windows(sourceFile).Activate Application.DisplayAlerts = True Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub ' this is the code which does the copying & saving Windows(sourceFile).Activate topbot.Activate ' this is the tab in sourceFile I want to copy from Range(topbotExport1stCell, topbotExportLastCell).Select Selection.Copy Windows(destFile).Activate Worksheets(topbotImportTab).Activate topbotImportCell.Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False ActiveWorkbook.Save MsgBox "Changes to " & destFile & " saved." |
