When I encounter a password protected file, Excel prompts me for a password, at this point I want to skip the file and ignore it, however my only option is to enter the password (which I do not have) or cancel which therefore terminates the script. Could anyone help me with ideas of how to skip this data? Many thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
