How do I pass the password parameter to winword programmatically

[Guest]

I am launching winword programmatically...
client_host('"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\winword.exe"
'||v_file_name);
This works, but the user is then asked for the password.
The user does not know the password, and I need to include it in the call.
How do I do this?

You cannot. Word is not designed with commandline parameters that allow you
to supply a password when opening a file. Best you could do would be to
AUTOMATE Word, then use the Documents.Open method to supply the password.
