I'm using one workbook (A) to contain VBA which needs to open another workbook (B). The workbook B has a password (to modify -- the password was applied via SAVE AS, TOOLS, GENERAL OPTIONS, Password to Modify) I can't seem to get the syntax right in the VBA to open workbook B by supplying the password as part of the WORKBOOKS.Open Filename:="C:\thatfile.xls" statement.
