Sending Password Through Vensim Command

[maxin454]

Hi. I have developed a java interface for my vensim model (using DLL). I want the model to be password protected. I'm wondering if there is a way to send the password through the java code directly so that the vensim "enter password" pop-up window won't show when opening the interface. In other words, I'm trying to let users open the interface without entering the password but the underlying vensim model is password protected. Many thanks.

Sorry, but there is no way of doing this at the moment.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Also, there's one thing I would like to confirm. Is it true that if I give users .vpa file, then they won't be able to see the underlying model, i.e., they can exercise the application but cannot see the structure/equations of the model? Thanks.

Correct. Just make sure that when you publish you untick "Readable by" for DSS, Runtime and Model Reader.

When I publish .vpa, I unticked "Readable by" for DSS, Runtime, Model Reader. The .vpa file cannot be opened. Am I missing something? Thanks.
