Accessing tables within the executable

XLS Padlock
1

Hello all
Is it possible to access data from a compiled WorkBook?
If for example WorkBook B (xlsm) reads from tables in WorkBook A (xlsm) but then WorkBook A is compiled into its executable (exe) - presumably access is lost. I have solved this issue by extracting the tables from the compiled WorkBook A to a new xlsx such that WorkBook B can use that.

Just wondering whether my presumption was hasty.

Thanks
Dave

No, you are right. You can’t access a compiled workbook.
