Hello, I am not sure that I understand your previous message. MainFile.xlsm is the protected workbook, the other one is a non protected workbook. The code contained in MainFile.xlsm is called by the non protected workbook (both are opened manually by the user). I have tried to add the second...

Hello, thank you very much for your answer. I thought at first that it was the solution but it does not seem to be the case. Indeed, I don’t have any problem with “ThisWorkbook.Path” since “ThisWorkbook” is the second file, wich is not protected. The issue is in the following line ...

The error message I get is : Execution error '1004' : Sorry... We do not find Path.Mainfile.xlsm. It seems as if the main file is invisible. When I open the developer tab thanks to the “debug” button I cannot see my main file, which used to be the case with previous versions...

Hello, I am using XLS Padlock to protect one of 2 Excel files that are linked. The principle is the following : the main file contains a lot of vba code that we want to protect and is compiled thanks to XLS Padlock the second one is a kind of big form. The user use it to enter their data and...

I have tried two other options, and the same error occurs. Option 1 : with a “simple” activation key (non hardware-locked) - the other options are exactly the same Activation is OK, but the file does not open and I get the following error message : “cannot creat file “x:\Office\KGBAQ\data.gdg”...

It works. I needed to create the same protected workbook, but with a key for some customers, and without one for the others. Here are the different selected options (for both workbooks) : Application settings Application Title Minimum Excel versions required : 12 Password protected Use faster...

Hello, I have uploaded my version of xlspadlock to version 2.1. I have protected a workbook with a hardware-locked key. However, once I enter the activation key, the workbook does not open. I get an error message saying “cannot create file “:i\Office\TH1PG\data.gdg”. Specified path not found”...

Thank you for your answer. The application is on a server and is accessible from any computer connected to this server. Anyone who tries to open the file is asked for another key, which seems to be normal according to your previous post. I haven’t changed the system ID option, therefore it is...

Hello, I have created an application with a hardware-locked key for my clients. Can I send the same protected application to my users, or do I have to generate a new aplication for each one ? I have tried to generate a protected application on my server and to copy it. I activated the copied...

Problem solved ! I used “thisworkbook.path” in the code to know where the files were located (to save the output workbook) , “this workbook” being the protected one. This is why I couldn’t find any output file, since the path was wrong. I “cheated” by getting the path of the input workbook...

Ok, for some reason today I don’t even manage to call my protected file from my input workbook. This is how it works : the user “calls” the protected workbook by clicking an Activex control located in the input workbook. The code used to be (when the main workbook wasn’t protected) : InputWbk...

Thank you for your quick reply. I had already written a code to make the exe “find” the input workbook, therefore it is not a problem for me. My problem is that when the ouptut workbook is created, it seems to be also protected (the only option is “print”), and is not saved as a .xlsx in the...

Hello everyone, I would like to use XLS Padlock to protect a workbook which creates another one, without having the new one protected (I don’t want the user to see the code, and “basic” Excel protection seems easy to crack). I created a “tool” consisting in two workbooks : a workbook...
