    Sorry, missed that! :)

    The reason Application.DisplayAlerts does not work is because there is no default button on that message box. The only way round the problem is to cross over to the dark side and use SendKeys.


    Search for SendKeys in the VB Editor help box and get an idea how to use SendKeys.

    Thanks. but excel not recognize that i want to send "enter" to this popup


    my code is :


    Private Sub Workbook_Open()

    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ActiveWorkbook.LockServerFile

    Re: Press enter when alert pops up in excel


    Yes. Tested it and still now working because the row that activates this pop up is :


    ActiveWorkbook.LockServerFile


    not before :(



    any idea?

    Re: Press enter when alert pops up in excel

    Application.SendKeys("~")


    Hope this helps

    As indicated in a previous post, the SendKeys instruction line needs to be located just before the line ActiveWorkbook.LockserverFile ...
