If you do this

Application.AutomationSecurity = msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable

Your macros will stop altogether.

Just try it and step through the code to see if it works. I guarantee it
will. You won't get an enable macro message and any workbook open code that
you have will not run.

Isn't that what you want?

I need to open a file read only and macros inactive.

I know how to do read only but how to do macros inactives?
