Nothing. MS hasn't exposed any methods for opening password protected files in
PPT. As a hack/workaround, you could work out the name of the dialog box that
appears when you open a protected file, then send keystrokes to it to feed it
the password.

Re: How to open Password Protected PPT File
I have the same problem.....
Even with the workaround the problem remains because in that moment I
don't have the control of the application, but PP has....
So my code won't be executed until the operator will press the "OK" or the
"Cancel"
button, only in that moment I get again the control of the application and I
can
use the sendkey function......
The only way I see is to create another program that waits for the PP
messagebox
the be shown and then work on it, but it's terribly ugly ........
cheers

Sometimes ugly is the only way to triumph over ugly, I guess. <g>
