MS Word Password Question

Hi.

If I know the password of a MSWORD document that has open password, can I open it thru VB code or not?


Anybody know?

Thanks

Hey TheOnly,

Thanks. but one question.. I have no idea what your code means or how to use it. Can you explain a bit more?

Hi wengang!!!

There is a little example below. (tested with vb6 and w2000)
If you need this in Word then reply to this tread.

'set a references to MS word
'Menuitem Project--> references

'declare objWord as word
Dim objWord As Word.Application
'create a new instance of word
Set objWord = New Word.Application

'with Word
With objWord
'make Word Window visible
.Visible = True
'open the password proteced Document
.Documents.Open FileName:="c:\pwd.doc", PasswordDocument:="MyPassword"
End With

'place your code here what ever you want


'this will close all documents
'only for testing I want that nothing will be saved
'note you can also close only 1 Documente
objWord.Documents.Close savechanges:=False
'close Word
objWord.Quit
'set the reference to nothing
Set objWord = Nothing

you are the coolest! :)
