    Re: setting excel password using VBA

    I am looking for a way to set the DB link password automatically. When in an Excel macro the Userid is already set and the Server, but I have to keep entering the Password, this won't change, and is annoying. Can I set it in code???
    Thanks

    There are several password types: Workbook, edit password, protected passwords etc. If you are trying to open a workbook then just supply the needed password in the arguments of the open method.
