Batch Macro Tweak for Graham Mayor
Hello, On June 9 you sent me a batch macro to remove the same password from
multiple Word documents. I typed it in Visual basic in Word but I need to know where to insert the old password in the macro, i.e. after .Password = "" or ?? I am not a programmer so this is all "Greek" to me. -- Bruce Bumbier |

If you copy and paste the macro from the message into into the vba editor,
the macro when run prompts for the open and edit passwords. You don't have to edit the macro code. The passwords you enter are assigned to the variables sPassword1 and sPassword2 and those passwords are used for all the documents. I did not include error trapping for missing or different macros which is why I said that it was intended to work with a set of files all with the same macro. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm which explains how to use and depoloy macro listings Public Sub UnPasswordAll() Dim FirstLoop As Boolean Dim strFileName As String Dim sPassword1 As String Dim sPassword2 As String Dim strPath As String Dim oDoc As Document Dim Response As Long Dim fDialog As FileDialog Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) With fDialog .Title = "Select folder and click OK" .AllowMultiSelect = False .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList If .Show -1 Then MsgBox "Cancelled By User", , "Password" Exit Sub End If strPath = fDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1) If Right(strPath, 1) "\" Then strPath = strPath + "\" End With sPassword1 = InputBox("Enter Password to open Document") sPassword2 = InputBox("Enter Password to edit Document") On Error Resume Next Documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdPromptToSaveChanges FirstLoop = True strFileName = Dir$(strPath & "*.doc") While strFileName "" Set oDoc = Documents.Open(strPath & strFileName, _ PasswordDocument:=sPassword1, _ WritePasswordDocument:=sPassword2) If FirstLoop Then With ActiveDocument .Password = "" .WritePassword = "" End With FirstLoop = False Response = MsgBox("Do you want to process " & _ "the rest of the files in this folder", vbYesNo) If Response = vbNo Then Exit Sub Else With ActiveDocument .Password = "" .WritePassword = "" End With End If oDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges strFileName = Dir$() Wend End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bruce Bumbier wrote: Hello, On June 9 you sent me a batch macro to remove the same password from multiple Word documents.

Batch Macro Tweak for Graham Mayor
Okay, now that I have steadied myself I have a question about going further.
The documents are "read only", as the "read-only recommended" box is checked in the security options of the documents. Is there a way to get rid of that by macro? Did I do something wrong? I am trying to change find/replace text in all of the documents but the read-only is getting in the way. thanks, poi "Graham Mayor" wrote: Steady! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "poi" wrote in message ...

I answered this to your similar question in the vba forum you posted to and
provided code. That reply is below: The following should work. If you have already removed the password(s), leave the password prompts blank Sub BatchProcess() Dim strFileName As String Dim strPath As String Dim sPassword1 As String Dim sPassword2 As String Dim oDoc As Document Dim fDialog As FileDialog Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) sPassword1 = InputBox("Enter Password to open Document") sPassword2 = InputBox("Enter Password to edit Document") With fDialog .Title = "Select folder and click OK" .AllowMultiSelect = False .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList If .Show -1 Then MsgBox "Cancelled By User", , _ "List Folder Contents" Exit Sub End If strPath = fDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1) If Right(strPath, 1) "\" _ Then strPath = strPath + "\" End With If Documents.Count 0 Then Documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdPromptToSaveChanges End If If Left(strPath, 1) = Chr(34) Then strPath = Mid(strPath, 2, Len(strPath) - 2) End If strFileName = Dir$(strPath & "*.doc") While Len(strFileName) 0 Set oDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strPath & strFileName, _ PasswordDocument:=sPassword1, _ WritePasswordDocument:=sPassword2) ' 'Do what you want with oDoc With oDoc .Password = "" .WritePassword = "" .ReadOnlyRecommended = False .Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges End With strFileName = Dir$() Wend End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "poi" wrote in message ...
