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.
This Option Does Not Fix Errors
Enabling this option does not resolve any underlying issues within the workbook; it merely bypasses them during compilation. After protecting your workbook with this option enabled, you must test it thoroughly to ensure all features function as expected.
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.
