Loading/Saving workbooks through VBA SetOption helper

Purpose: loading/Saving workbooks through VBA SetOption helper

If you enabled the “Do not allow loading/saving other workbooks” option (see Do not allow loading/saving other workbooks paragraph) and still need to do it through VBA, do this:

-Enable the following Advanced option:

-Then, use the following VBA code snippet:

Dim wkb As WorkbookOn Error Resume Next
' Adding New Workbook
Set wkb = Workbooks.Add
' Do what you need…
'Saving the Workbook
Dim XLSPadlock As Object
Set XLSPadlock = Application.COMAddIns("GXLS.GXLSPLock").Object
XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="2", Value:="0"
XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="1", Value:="1"
 
wkb.SaveAs "D:\My Documents\WorkbookName.xlsx"
 
XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="2", Value:="1"
XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="1", Value:="0"
 

You can see the following line:

 XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="2", Value:="0"
 

This line tells XLS Padlock to allow loading/saving workbooks as usual. Value should be either 1 (True) or 0 (False).

The second line

 XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="1", Value:="1" 

tells XLS Padlock to disable the prompt to save encrypted workbooks.

After having saved the workbook, be sure to call:

XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="2", Value:="1"
XLSPadlock.SetOption Option:="1", Value:="0"
 

It will restore the default behavior.
