To work around this problem, use the following Visual Basic for
Applications sample macro.
The following macro passes the RecentFiles(1).Name to the Documents.Open
command, with which you can specify a document password. The macro opens
the first item in the Most Recently Used(MRU) list. To specify another item
in the list, use a different number, such as RecentFiles(3).Name.
Sub OpenRecentFileWithPassWord()
If RecentFiles.Count >= 1 Then
' Replace "YourDocumentPassWord" with the password
' of the document to open.
Documents.Open FileName:=RecentFiles(1).Name, _
PasswordDocument:="YourDocumentPassWord"
End If
End Sub
