Hi all
How do I write a Subroutine to check
if the file needs a password to open, then I supply the password (inside the Sub when the file when opening) to open,
and in case no password needed, just open the file
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
as a start:

Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\name.xls", Password:="My_Password"


...what else is the code doing?
