Just installed 2026.0 and had to uninstall previous version. Used the contact system and they simply had to clear it on their side. Kudos for the quick response!

I updated my Excel spreadsheet to use "Let" and IFS". I just found out that "Let" requires a minimum of Excel 2024. I don't have a problem with setting the minimum but this level doesn't appear to exist in the information section of the Security, Excel Versions tab for compiling the spreadsheet...

I'm on 2025.2 with Windows/10 and have a complex Excel spreadsheet. However, when I try to save, I need the option to cancel it in the Workbook.BeforeSave subroutine. Setting Cancel=True end exiting the subroutine doesn't cancel the save. It works in the xlsm version but not in the compiled...

This is a cool procedure to ensure that expiration dates are not violated. If you want to make a one day expiration, don't use mScheduledTime = Now + TimeValue("24:00:00") . Consider changing it to: mScheduledTime = Now + 1 or mScheduledTime = Now + TimeValue("23:59:59") . We had this decades...

Has anybody else had this recently on executing an Excel spreadsheet compiled with 2025.1? When certain xlsc files are opened on Windows/10, the program simply ends without an error. Attempting to do the same thing on the Windows/11 Laptop, the file opens okay. There must be some dll that is...

Is there some sort of list why a save file would not be compatible with the application? I have a demo .xlsm that's pre-filled with names another that is blank. They have the same application key and are substantially identical. This comes from an underlying problem that you can't copy/delete...

Hello, Quick note because I had a glitch and fixed it after an hour of work. I was using the following: Windows/11 (version 24H2 build 26100-4061) with the cumulative update of KB505679 and XLSPadlock 2024.3. Compiled the Excel spreadsheet. When I run the Excel .exe, I get the following...

Hello, I'm looking for ideas about the best way to have multiple users share a single spreadsheet (or maybe database) for check-in and voting purposes. We could have 100 people check in to 5 different and closely located computers. It would be much more efficient if they shared one spreadsheet...

Is anybody else running into a failure to sign with sha-256 and a successful signature with sha-1 on 2024.3? Did a 32/64 bit compile. See note (note: [12/25/2024 1:27:34 PM] The target file is not writeable because it is being used by another process.) Also, copied signature from properties...

Is there any API available that could permit unlocking and relocking a spreadsheet or even a workbook using the original settings for lock/unlock? This would allow a work-around with some of the locked workspace and workbook restrictions. Currently the only way to do this with XLSpadlock is to...

While traveling, developing with Excel 365 (instead of Excel 2019). Applied edit ranges and protected worksheet. Ranges definitely remain password protected in xlsm. Created .exe User is able to edit all ranges without any password. This is serious because it removes an important level of...

We’re on the 2022 release of XLS padlock. When I start up the .exe program I have two issues: The “Load a recent save” is grayed out, even if the spreadsheet was previously saved. When I select “Choose Save File” the directory displayed is not the directory of the .exe file; it is one I saved...

We just had an exe fail on Windows 11 with Excel 365…2 hours before a critical annual meeting! It worked yesterday and all we did was compile and provide a signature. Couldn’t use the .exe module. Any ideas? Followup … worked the morning after. No idea why?

Challenge A: Start process to create .exe Erroneously select both Save options, i.e. “Always show the ‘Load previous changes’ welcome screen” and “Save changes automatically and load them without prompt next time”. After compile, try to open .exe file. Get the following: Click “OK” and it...

I’m running into some challenges when I move code from Excel’s VBA to XLSPadlock VBA. The “_” flags an error when used on continuation statements. Is this a restriction? MSGBOX apparently needs all parameters. “, ,” generates an error. When I attempt to save, I get an “Internal Error Unable to...
