Vensim Help

Allows you to open a password protected model.  The PASSWORD control should be set in the form

PASSWORD,opensesame

Do not use quotes!The password should be entered in the same way it was entered for the model (the same case as well).  The PASSWORD control can be placed in any screen of the Venapp, and you can have up to four PASSWORD controls in one Venapp.  When the Venapp requests that a new model be opened, the password for that model will be tested against all passwords entered into the Venapp.

If you save your Venapp in .vcf format it is not possible to recover the password from the .vcf file.

If you try to open a model from within a Venapp and have not specified the password for that model, the user will be queried for a password.  This is true whether you have left out the PASSWORD control or used the PASSWORD control but with the wrong password for the model.
