Issue Details

Is there a way to write to a password protected Excel file so that the password prompt is bypassed programmatically in LabVIEW?

Solution

Yes, there is a way to do this using the ActiveX functions.



Here Password refers to a password that may be applied to an excel workbook. Whereas WriteResPassword refers to a password that may be applied to a specific sheet.
The password to this excel document was set to "123" which should be changed accordingly.
