I need to Open an Excel file with protection password and save it with a new
password again after changing the Excel.

Now I know only:

Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlsheet As Excel.Worksheet


Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("D:\aa.xls", , , , 123)

x1Book.Unprotect ("123")
Set xlsheet = xlBook.Worksheets(1)
xlsheet.Cells(1, 1) = abc

xlBook.Close (True)
xlApp.Quit

But x1Book.Unprotect ("123") is error.
And I don't know how to cancel the protect of Excel with VB ;and I don't
know how to save it with a new password again after changing the Excel.


Any help would be most appreciated.

Are you running this from excel's VBA?

You can change the password to open by saving it with a new password. You can
look at VBA's help for .saveas to see the parms.

Or you could use:

xlbook.password = "newpassword"
xlbook.save
xlbook.close false

or replace the last two lines with
xlbook.close true

And (in general) watch your typing. You have xLapp (with an ELL) and x1App
(with a one).
