    Formula refers to protected file

    Hi,
    File A contains a formula which refers to File B. File B is password-protected.

    When opening File A, a window pops up asking for the password in File B. I see two options :
    • give the password --> how do I do this in VBA ?
    • suppress the message, because I have the impression that is is not needed for File A to get the data. Pressing Escape seems to work fine --> how do I do this in VBA ?
    • Maybe a third, better solution ?
