Where could I enter code to unprotect the workbook on open.

I am looping through files to open that are all protected with same password....


Sub MergeAllWorkbooks()
Dim SummarySheet As Worksheet
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim NRow As Long
Dim FileName As String
Dim WorkBk As Workbook
Dim SourceRange As Range
Dim DestRange As Range
Dim LastRow As Long

'Clear contents on spreadsheet
Rows("2:65536").Select
Selection.ClearContents

' Create a new workbook and set a variable to the first sheet.
Set SummarySheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Data")

' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
FolderPath = "C:\Users\Allison Montgomery\Documents\Brown Dog Consulting\Access Marketing\Play\"

' NRow keeps track of where to insert new rows in the destination workbook.
NRow = 2

' Call Dir the first time, pointing it to all Excel files in the folder path.
FileName = Dir(FolderPath & "PLAY*.xl*")

' Loop until Dir returns an empty string.
Do While FileName <> ""
' Open a workbook in the folder
' WorkBk.Unprotect Password:="pw101"

Set WorkBk = Workbooks.Open(FolderPath & FileName)





' Set the cell in column A to be the file name.
SummarySheet.Range("A" & NRow).Value = FileName

' Set the source range to be A9 through C9.
' Modify this range for your workbooks.
' It can span multiple rows.

'Find last row in statement spreadsheet
With ActiveSheet
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With

Set SourceRange = WorkBk.Worksheets("Filters").Range("A9:AJ" & LastRow)

' Set the destination range to start at column B and
' be the same size as the source range.
Set DestRange = SummarySheet.Range("B" & NRow)
Set DestRange = DestRange.Resize(SourceRange.Rows.Count, _
SourceRange.Columns.Count)
' Copy over the values from the source to the destination.
DestRange.Value = SourceRange.Value
' Increase NRow so that we know where to copy data next.
NRow = NRow + DestRange.Rows.Count
' Close the source workbook without saving changes.
' WorkBk.Protect Password:="pw101"

WorkBk.Close SaveChanges:=False
' Use Dir to get the next file name.
FileName = Dir()
Loop
' Call AutoFit on the destination sheet so that all
' data is readable.
SummarySheet.Columns.AutoFit
'
'Fill in blanks for Source column
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
'Delete row 2
Rows("2:2").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
'Filter on Tim Abrams - c/p
Rows("1:1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=16, Criteria1:="TA"
Cells.Select
Range("H1").Activate
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Open FileName:= _
"C:\Users\Allison Montgomery\Documents\Brown Dog Consulting\Access Marketing\Play\Tim_Abrams.xls"
Sheets("Data").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
