Hi all,
I have a looot of work books which get data from different tables in a same oracle database.
I am trying not to include the VBA code in the same work sheet as people can see the passwords for the database when they open the object explorer( i know we can lock the project windows) and also due to the fact that there is a fire wall which deletes attachments when there is a VBA code in it(i know we can rename the sheets and send them to user and then ask them to convert them back with.xls extension,its too much work for some users).
So i am trying to do this by including VBA code in a work sheet on my pc and when i have to refresh the data in the shared drives all i need to do is open my sheet and the shared work sheet,run the macro to refresh the data.
I have done similar kind of thing to lock, unlock and hide work sheets but here the VBA code doesnt work as it asks for the database credentials and path in the pop up box.( example user name 'yellow' database 'green' DSN 'blue')
Is there a way to do this?Any pointers will be much appreciated.
