My macro security is set to Medium.
I have a file that I need to open (in VBA) in order to extract some data
from it, then close it. That file has Open and Close event code that I
don't want to run during this task.
How do I code to open that file with macros disabled?
Or how can I code to open that file such that the Open/Close code will not
execute?
Thanks for your help. Otto
