Apparently, while in a comma, according to my vba file embedded into an excel worksheet, I need a password to reaccess the query code.

Since I do not recall ever setting a password on this file, and also even if I did I have found that none of the password complexes that I normally use - if I ever use a password - work on this file anyway, how is it that an .xla can subsequently require a password when none was set in the first place and is there any way to recover once this file decides it needs a password?

Any ideas would be welcome.
TIA. /psb.
