Open a password protected Word97 doc using VB6.

[Jimreaper]

Does anyone know how to open a password protected Word97 doc using VB6. I would like to pass the password so the user doesn't have to enter a password. I would like the doc to be protected from the user, only VB will update the doc.

I have the app opening the doc currently. I just want to pass the password.
Thanks
newbie Jim

Not sure about VB6 but in VBA the password is just passed as an argument on the Open Method.

example:

Documents.Open FileName:="p:\doc2.doc", PasswordDocument:="whatever"
