Great idea Jon. Had not even considered using ADO to read data from Excel.
I'll take a look.

My problem stems from Access misinterpreting data types when importing or
linking to Excel, so opening an ADO recordset might just do the trick.

Thanks.

You could use alternative approaches to read the data, for example:

How is Access opening the Excel workbooks? If you use VBA to open a document
with macros in an instance of its parent application, the fact that VBA is
running counts as an approval to run code, so you should not be warned.

I have an Access application that is opening a number of Excel spreadsheets
and reading data from them. Each of these spreadsheets has the same
macros,
which I want to disable when I open the workbook, rather than having to
click
the pop-up window that asks if I want to enable/disable macros.

Is there a way to do this using Excel automation? How about using API
calls? My intent is that I would like to read the current setting, change
the setting to disable macros, read in the files, then reset the setting
to
its original value.
