Ignore Errors When Processing Workbook

The “Ignore errors when processing the workbook (internal protection)” option allows the compilation process to continue even if errors are encountered while opening your Excel workbook. This feature is designed to streamline the protection workflow by suppressing error messages that could otherwise interrupt the process.

When this option is enabled, XLS Padlock will not halt or display error prompts if it encounters issues during the workbook’s opening phase.

If you still encounter errors in the compiled workbook, consider enabling the alternative option, “Use Excel automation for formula protection,” which may mitigate issues that the standard internal protection method does not address.
