Thanks Sam and Paul for the responses.
I actually found code on a site that will do exactly what i am looking
for. It verifies username and forces macros as well. The code works
great when I test it out on my computer...(using Excel 2010/WIN7).
When I set up for an employees computer (he is using Excel 2003/XP)
the prompt box to enter the password to open the workbook comes up to
get into the workbook. I do not have a password to modify in the
document, just a password to open.
Is there something lost in the conversion process from a .xlsm to
earlier version of excel that is causing the password to not
automatically be entered? Any help will be appreciated. Here is the
code below:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim UserName As String
Dim V As Variant
Dim myPWD As String
Dim wkbk As Workbook
UserName = Environ("username")
myPWD = "password"
On Error Resume Next
V = Application.Match(UserName,
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("UserNames").Range("a:a"), 0)
On Error GoTo 0
If IsError(V) = True Then
MsgBox "You're not authorized!"
Else
Set wkbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="C:\Documents and Settings
\johnsmith\Desktop\book1.xlsm", _
Password:=myPWD)
wkbk.RunAutoMacros which:=xlAutoOpen
End If
ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
End Sub
