I'm using the following macro to unlock my VBA projects when the workbook is opened. However if I already have another vba project unlocked, this macro will sometimes just place the password inside module and do nothing.

Is there a way to designate specifically which project should be unlocked?

Code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As LongPtr)

Private Sub Unlock_Project()
With Application
        .SendKeys "%{F11}", True 'Alt-F11
        Sleep 500
        
        .SendKeys "^r", True         'CTRL+R
        Sleep 500
        
        .SendKeys "~", True          'enter
        Sleep 500
        
        .SendKeys ThisWorkbook.Password_M, True 'ThisWorkbook.Password_M is given a value when an earlier function is called
        Sleep 500
        
        .SendKeys "~", True 'enter
        Sleep 500
        
        .SendKeys "%q", True 'quit vba editor
End With
End Sub
