This is an addition to my other questions. In order for me to automate my
processes, it's important for excel not to do anything that might put it
into a wait state. So far I've dealt with the following:

AutomationSecurity on high (3) to disable macros
DisplayAlerts to false Prevents modal dialogs (does excel have non-modal
dialogs?)
AskToUpdateLinks = false Don't query to pull in data from the internet.

Is there anything else that should be on this list?
