It's falling over on this bit of code:

XlWrkBkReader := XlWrkBkReader.Open(FileName);

If you know the password, you can try to unprotect the file using xlWorkbook.Unprotect : msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.office.tools.excel.workbook.unprotect.aspx

If you do not know the password, you need to remove protection, e.g. by external software which you can run in the background before opening, and use the result of that process.

Yes, you have to open the file with the standard interop of excel and unprotect the sheet.

ExcelApplicationClass_l := ExcelApplicationClass_l.ApplicationClass;

ExcelWorkbook_l := ExcelApplicationClass_l.Workbooks.Open(FileName_v,0,TRUE,5,'','',TRUE,ExcelXLPlatform_l.xlWindows,'\t',FALSE,FALSE,0,TRUE,1,0);

ExcelWorkbook_l.Unprotect('password');

ExcelWorkbook_l.SaveAs(FileName_v,ExcelXLFileFormat_l.xlOpenXMLWorkbook,'','',FALSE,FALSE,ExcelXLSaveAsAccessMode_l.xlNoChange,ExcelXLSaveConflictResoultion_l.xlUserResolution,FALSE,'','',TRUE);

ExcelWorkbook_l.Close(FALSE,FileName_v,FALSE);

ExcelApplicationClass_l.Quit;

After that you can read the file :)

Parameter:

Var Name DataType Subtype Length

Ja FileName_v Text 1024

local variables:
