[AccessD] Open Protected Excel via VBA

If you meant protected sheets  within a workbook, 

appExcel.Sheets("instruc").Unprotect Password:=strPW

Works. If you meant to unprotect a Workbook try the following code
snippets:

   appexcel.Workbooks.Open strPath1 & "\" & strFilename, 0   
   appexcel.ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:=strPW
