Get data from protected file, changes required in existing code

[aravindhan_3]

Hi,

I Have 25 files saved in a folder. I have one master file where I run a macro to merge data from all those files and collate in my master file.
I use the below macro which is working perfectly for me

However I have a problem if those 25 files are protected. I do have list of files and their respective password to open those file. Is it possible to give the passwords and file names declared in the code so that when a macro runs it doest not ask for password.

Regards
Arvind

I have also asked the same questio on the below link.

Password is a property of the Open method, so just pas it there.

Hold a list of wokbook names and passwords, and use Find with the workbook name, and get the name offset by one column.

Thanks for your suggesstion.

I would really appreciate very much if you could help me on this As I am not an expert in VBA, I guess something like the below piece of code can be used, I am not sure how do I add this..
[vba] On Error Resume Next
Set wbSource = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=rCell.Value, _
ReadOnly:=True, _
Password:=rCell.Offset(, 1).Value)
If Err.Number > 0 Then
MsgBox "Wrong pwd supplied for: " & rCell.Value, 0, vbNullString
Err.Clear
On Error Goto 0
Goto NextFile
End If [/vba]

Thanks for your help

This now becomes hard coded to the twenty five.

If it needs to stay dynamic, meaning that more files would be included, but not always used, then it'll get more complicated.

I only included code up to where the last changes occurs.

(not tested)

Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles(24, 1) As String

Dim rnum As Long, CalcMode As Long
Dim FirstCell As String

'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
MyPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\MT45\Desktop\Steve Peck Projects\Test files"

'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then
MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If

'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of Excel files in the folder
MyFiles(0, 0) = "Filename1.xls": MyFiles(0, 1) = "Password1"
MyFiles(1, 0) = "Filename2.xls": MyFiles(1, 1) = "Password2"
MyFiles(2, 0) = "Filename3.xls": MyFiles(2, 1) = "Password3"
MyFiles(3, 0) = "Filename4.xls": MyFiles(3, 1) = "Password4"
'etc.

'Change ScreenUpdating, Calculation and EnableEvents
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With

'Add a new workbook with one sheet
'Set BaseWks = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
Set BaseWks = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Data")

'Loop through all files in the array(myFiles)
If Fnum > 0 Then
For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)

On Error Resume Next
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(Fnum, 0), Password:=MyFiles(Fnum, 1))

You need to build a table of workbook names and passwords, on a hidden sheet say, and then lookup the workbook name. Lookup Find in help, it is easy to use.
