Default Display Alerts

The Display alerts is designed to stop the kind of alerts you get when, for
example, you try to save a file with a name of an existing file, or when you
delete a worksheet - this is so that code can run "automatically" without
stopping for user input.
The ActiveX warning is at application level - ie the O/S raises it rather
than Excel itself. If you Google for it, you'll see that you can set a
Registry item that stops the warning.

Hi all

I've heard that putting 'Application.DisplayAlerts = False' stops the
ActiveX warning pop-up when the workbook is opened, however when I run my
code it won't actually change the alerts to false, what could be wrong here?

Thanks in Advance
