I want to load a protected workbook for readonly access. The spreadsheet I have has a password for "Protect Structure and Windows" set. This does not disallow the file from being opened, just from workbooks being added to the file. When I try to load the workbook, I get the error listed below. Is there a way around this? Will this be fixed in a later release? Attached is the file used(with the extension changed from xls to txt to allow uploading).
{"Attempted to read past the end of the stream."}

Hi,
Can you tell me if this feature has been implemented yet? If so what version do I need to download and if not is it planned to implement this feature?
Thanks,
Redrag.
Thank you!!
This feature to open password protected workbooks is not yet implemented. I have forwarded this post to the Developer Support Manager to create a feature request on your behalf.
Hi, I am having a problem when importing a password protected workbook into Wingrid. An error 'Attempted to read past the end of the stream.' occurs on the line below.
Dim b As Workbook = Workbook.Load(FileName)
Am I missing something?
Thanks you, any help would be greatly appreciated
