Well, some would say "maturity" is about undrestanding how little one really

I just don't answer questions about how to break into files or where to find bogus product IDs. There's no way to tell if the OP is telling the truth or not when they say it's their file/program.

Any attempt to access a file could be an attempt to hack into the file ("I need to get data from a file on the network server" or "I have to access data in a file I cannot open"). Heck, even a request to add a watermark to a document could be an illegal act. Maybe the document was written by someone else and this person wants to steal it and put her/his name on it! How does one stop the paranoia if we start with the presumption of the guilt just because we don't know the person? -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions |

I'm the first to admit that I don't know everything. But It's taken me a
very long time to get to this level of understanding myself and knowing better than to do things that make me uncomfortable. Because I *don't* know the truth about the situation of a person who needs a crack (but seems to know the term) I prefer to stay out of it. Perhaps when you're my age, you'll appreciate that. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "KL" wrote in message ...

Well, who knows! Maybe I will... or maybe I will not have another chance to be your age :-) How do you know mine? Regards, KL |

I never told anyone that they should or should not respond to the request
for a crack. I've only said that I am skeptical about anyone who wants one. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...

I have got to ask..
Eric, Did you open the file? Lomax "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ... Take a look at http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/fileandvbapwords.html for a link to a less expensive solution. In article , "Eric Fehlhaber" wrote: Does anyone know of any software that can crack a password protected .xls file for free? I found this one... http://www.elcomsoft.com/aopr.html I don't think it's worth it for one document though. Thanks Eric |

I was referring to your telling the OP And since the file was protected in the first place, maybe you shouldn't be trying to break into it. It sounded to me like an attempt to impose your morals and ethics. "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...

Nope, just making a suggestion. Imposing my morals would be "Don't do that
because ....." or "It's a sin to .....". I didn't do either - I just suggested that maybe they shouldn't be trying to break into the file. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...
