vba code for opening password protected workbook
Thanks guys thats brilliant, unfortunately it used to ask me for 2 passwords
and it still tells me to enter a password for write access or open as read only, is there a way to bypass this password too?

vba code for opening password protected workbook
Hi Ron, i've copied Dave's code in like you said and added the line with the
write password instruction but it gives me a compile error/syntax error when i try to run it. This is my code as i currently have it, i have tried putting brackets and commas etc to separate the 2 password lines, i've even tried them on the same line but everything returns the compile error. Thanks Carl Sub OpenPassword() Dim wbk As Workbook Application.DisplayAlerts = False Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="e:\rota stuff\nick rota template", _ UpdateLinks:=True, _ Password:="united1") WriteResPassword:="united1") With wbk ..Save ..Close End With Set wbk = Nothing End Sub |
