Excel VBA

Hi there,

I wonder if someone could help me.

I have multiple documents which are all protected by single same password. I have a master document which is linked to the these documents which draws data from them.

Since putting the passwords on the workbooks, I am now having to re-enter the password for every linked document in the master document.

Is there some sort of VBA code I can use which will enter all the passwords in for me automatically? maybe some kind of line repeat or loop? I'm struggling as I haven't a clue about VBA programming, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my code, which enables me to automatically enter the password in for one linked documents, after that I have to manually enter it in for the rest.

Sub Button1_Click()
'
' Button1_Click Macro
'

'
ChDir "U:\WIP\Stuff"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="U:\WIP\Stuff\MASTER BOOK.xlsx", UpdateLinks:=0, Password:="0dear"
End Sub

I look forward to hearing from you someone.


Best,

Trevor

RE: Excel VBA

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for the forum question.

I am sorry but it is outside the scope of this forum to develop code.

You mentioned that you have no knowledge of VBA.

You will need knowledge of loops, variables, Excel objects, and above intermediate knowledge of VBA coding before you can write the code.

You can Google and find examples but without VBA knowledge you will not be control and it will be hard to make Excel understand what you want. Also if you need to amend it later you will need to understand VBA.


Kind regards
