Created attachment 159578 [details] A slightly reworked version of the mentioned helper from 2 years ago. Code example in Basic: srvSupplier = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame Dim args(0) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue args(0).Name = "Password" args(0).Value = "A wrong Password" REM Actually taken from a SheetCellRange. targetDoc = srvSupplier.loadComponentFromURL(pUrl, "_blank", 0, args) Condition: The password supplied via args(0).Value is wrong. Expected: targetDoc is made the Null object. Experienced : A prompt to enter a password is casted. Why bad? (E.g.) A few years ago I wrote a provisional helper for recolleting a forgotten password (See: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/145716/). It can no longer work unattended due to the new behaviour. The behaviour is independent of whether I use a controller's frame or the StarDesktop to call 'loadComponentFromURL'. Remedy? Workaround: A second PropertyValue to pass with 'args' and set to: args(1).Name = "Hidden" args(1).Value = True Disadvantage: Old code formerly doing its duty must be changed.
