The workbooks.open command allows you to specify how you want the workbook
opened. If you use those arguments, you won't get prompted.

expression.Open(FileName, UpdateLinks, ReadOnly, Format, Password,
WriteResPassword, IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended, Origin, Delimiter, Editable,
Notify, Converter, AddToMRU)

Hello all,
I have the following problem: I have a VBS script which opens an Excel
document using the assignment "Set objExcel =
CreateObject("Excel.Application")" to access the VBA API for
Excel2000. The script opens the workbook, fills in some attributes,
saves the book and closes it.
When the workbook is protected with a password, the VBS script
displays a dialog in which I have to confirm to open the workbook with
read permissions only.
How can I suppress this dialog?
Thanks
Stefan

P.S.: I am using the same mechanism for Word2000 and have the same
problem with some dialog boxes. Is there a general way to disable this
dialogs in office applications?
