Hidden script automation

hi,

with the folowing code i can add a row to the script using the api:

set docprop = ActiveDocument.GetProperties
docprop.Script = docprop.Script & "Load * from abc.csv;"
ActiveDocument.SetProperties docprop

but how can i edit the hidden script?

Accessing the hidden script through automation has been considered a security issue and is therefore not possible.

Don't know whether I'm wrong, but what should that be good for? If you want to create a hidden script, you have to give it a password. Also when you want to edit it, and in my opinion it's roughly the sense of a hidden script that you only can access it if you know the password. Let's assume it would be possible to access it from API: you would supply the password in plain text in the module - so the hidden script would not be hidden any more. Even if you would NOT supply the password you would have to type it in when executing the macro - but that would be against the sense of an automated process ....

Perhaps I'm totally wrong, but that's my point of view,

Hi,

what about using a "binary load" of a file, which then has the hidden security included?
