VBA: Suppress macro warnings?

  • Hi, I have an application, that opens Word and embeds an Excel.Sheet object in the page. It does this by doing the following call:


    Code
    objWordInlineShape = objWordDocument.Range(nStart).InlineShapes.AddOLEObject("Excel.Sheet.8", strExcelFileName)


    However, the Excel file contains macro's and I get a warning message about this (which I obviously don't want :)).


    Now, I know there is a DisplayAlerts property in the Excel Application object, but I don't have an Application object before calling AddOLEObject. And I cannot seem to first create the inlineshape (empty Workbook object), then get the Application object through it, set the DisplayAlerts property and only then opening the file.


    Of course, I could disable the warning message in Excel, but I'd rather not.


    Does anyone have any suggestions to suppress these warning messages programmatticaly?


    I would like to use an embedded Excel object, because that way I can scale the Excel document to the page width.

  • I *think* you can just make that doc a template (DOT) and you won't get the message. Certain versions of Office will still require that the second tab in the Macro Security settings be set properly.
