Password on an Excel file

We have an Excel file with important information, which has a password on it. No one seems to recall what that password is. Is there any way to get into that file, say by logging in as Admin, so we can remove the password?

Excel file attachment to email with password protection

Hi Experts,
I have a req. to run an payroll interface and send the o/p to email ids as password protected excel attachment.
Searched in the SDN and found the way to generate excel files with protection in presentation server. But as the job would be run in background, presentation server file will not help in this case.
Please let me know if someone has come across with similar situation and have any solution. After many research and searching in SDN also I did not get any good solution. Please let me know if any of you have any solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Manas

Password on Excel File

Hi,
Is it possible to put a password on an excel file using ABAP. I am using OLE and am able to protect the cells.
Thanks.

I am not sure this will work, but here's my educated guess:
About two weeks ago, Microsoft started offering an Excel app for iPad:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-excel-for-ipad/id586683407?mt=8
If you use this app (which requires an Office 365 subscription, as noted in the app's description), my guess is you can then open the spreadsheet.

Creating Password Protected MS WORD File

Hi,
i reported a program which creating password protected ms excel file using OLE2 objects in local harddisk of computer.
can i report same program with ms word file?
Can somebody help me pls?
Thanks.

Hello,
This is what you require
GET PROPERTY OF word 'activedocument' = actdoc .
CREATE OBJECT word 'WORD.APPLICATION' .
IF sy-subrc NE 0 .
    MESSAGE s000(su) WITH 'Error while creating OLE object!'.
    LEAVE PROGRAM .
ENDIF .
GET PROPERTY OF word 'documents' = documents.
CALL METHOD OF documents 'Add' = newdoc.
call method of newdoc 'Activate'.
    CALL METHOD OF actdoc 'SaveAs'
    EXPORTING
      #1 = 'C:\file.doc'          "filename
      #2 = 1                      "fileFormat
      #3 = 0                      "LockComments
      #4 = 'passopen'             "password to open a workbook
      #5 = 0                      "AddToRecentFiles

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

OLE2 Excel File Save as password protected

Hi All,
I would like to save an Excel File as Password protected.
This File is created by OLE2.
How can I do this?
This is the Coding, how I save the File-->
CALL METHOD OF ls_wbook 'SaveAs' EXPORTING #1 = p_file.
Thanks for the Answers...
Bye
Besi

Hello Besi,
The following code should work. Try it out.
CALL METHOD OF document 'Protect' EXPORTING
                         #1 = 2
                         #2 = -1
                         #3 = 'password'.
CALL METHOD OF documents 'Save'.
Here 'document' is the 'ActiveDocument' object.
How to get the 'document' object:
    CREATE OBJECT worddoc 'Word.Document'.
    GET PROPERTY OF worddoc 'Application' = wordapp.
GET PROPERTY OF wordapp 'ActiveDocument' = document.

Jitendar

Will numbers open an excel file that is password protected? Xlsx latest ms excel?

No. None of the iWork apps on any platform will open a password-protected Office file. You have to remove the password in Office first.

Strange: When download excel file from Apex, it ask XDB username/password.

Hi
I'm using Apex 4.0.1 on Oracle 10.2.0.3, I have a application where end user can upload some file(excel/PDF/Word) as an attachment and later on they will download. Everything is fine but one thing:
When User press the download button, a popup window asking you whether you want to open it or save it. when it's PDF/Word file, all works fine no matter what you choose; but when it's an Excel file, if we try to open it(press the open), it will popup a window saying 'XDB need a username and password'. But if you ingore it, it did open the file without any issue; If user press Save button, no issue at all.
So the app still work but it's kind of annoying..
Any one seen this before? Any idea?
Thanks
Mike

You should open the excel file in binary mode, in that case, no errors will occur.
Also, there is a very good package located on
http://stareyes.homeip.net:8888/. It's free. The only thing is the server open
for a certain hours during the weekday. 11:00amp to 7:00pm New York time zone.

How do I save excel file with password for read only access ?

Hi
I am trying to save an excel file with a password to make it read only when opened
using OLE2 . I am having a problem with the parameter list. This is my code that does
work.
args := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 'C:\Reports\Excel\File.xls');
ole2.add_arg(args, 0);
ole2.add_arg(args, 0);
ole2.add_arg(args, 'TEST');
ole2.add_arg(args, 0);
ole2.add_arg(args, 0);
ole2.add_arg(args, 1);
I also have the following code at the beginning of the program to suppress dialogs.
     OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(application,'DisplayAlerts', 'FALSE');
     ole2.set_property(application,'Visible', 'false');

Hope it help.
     -- Begin : Protect your worksheet
     args := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
     OLE2.ADD_ARG(args,yourpassword); -- choose your password
     OLE2.INVOKE(worksheet, 'Protect', args);
     OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);

Password protected excel files in Sharepoint 2013

We have an issue with excel sheets. After editing and saving, the tags on the document disappear.
Basically one of my members uploaded the document. On first upload, she input the tags on it, and when she opened and editted and saved it, the tags disappear and also an error message came at the top.
Please note that there is a macro and a password on the document.
Please help !
Regards,
prajK

Hi Prajk,
I tried to reproduce the issue per the steps below, let me know if there is misunderstanding:
Create an Excel file with Password.
Upload the Excel file.
Select the file and add tags.
Click the Excel file, it says with Password enabled, I can only open it with Excel client application. So I open it with Excel, edit it and save again.
Select the file and click Tags and Notes, the tag is there.
I wonder if the issue can be reproduced on other Excel documents by her account. If you add a tag to the document item, does the issue still occur?

Rebecca Tu
