    Problem with Excel add-in

    Hi.

    I create a little add-in to save Excel files with a password protection. With this add-in you save your files with read/open password (it save the passwords in a txt file). When you open the file with double click the add-in should open the file automatically (the add-in compare the passwords in the txt file and if the password is the same it open the file automatically). I use the AutoOpen event to make this action.

    But I have a problem. When I make double click in the protected file the Excel open the file and immediately close it and the Excel request me the password again.

    Does anybody know how could I fix it?

    Sure BrianB, this is the code

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sub Auto_Open
    Call TryPwrd
    End Sub

    Sub TryPwrd()
    Dim path As String
    Dim Lines As String
    Dim FileList As Collection
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim arr() As String

    path = ShowFileOpenDialog(FileList)
    If path <> "" Then
    If OpenNoPwrd(path) Then Exit Sub
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Open RUTA For Input As #1 'RUTA= c:\PWRDS.txt
    i = 1
    Do Until EOF(1)
    Line Input #1, Lines
    arr() = Split(Expression:=Lines, Delimiter:="|")
    If OpenPwrd(path, arr(2)) Then
    Exit Sub
    End If
    i = i + 1
    Loop
    Close #1
    MsgBox "La clave no existe dentro de la lista"
    End If
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    End Sub

    Function OpenNoPwrd(path As String) As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    Workbooks.Open path, , , , ""
    If Err.Number = 0 Then
    OpenNoPwrd = True
    tcurrentPassword.PwrdOpen = ""
    End If
    End Function

    Function OpenPwrd(path As String, Pwrd As String) As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    Workbooks.Open path, , True, , Pwrd, , True, , , , False
    If Err.Number = 0 Then
    tcurrentPassword.PwrdOpen = Pwrd
    OpenPwrd = True
    End If
    End Function
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The form save the passwords in the txt is this manner:
    Application|Titulo|Password|Memo (separated with horizontal bars)

    Regards.
