You can open the workbook in safe mode which doesn't run any macros but
still allow changes to be made. the only way I know of opening in
safemode is from the command line prompt using /s.


Comspec = Environ("Comspec")
ExcelExe = Application.Path & "\excel.exe"
FName = "c:\temp\book1.xls"

CommandLine = Comspec & " /k " & Chr(34) & _
ExcelExe & Chr(34) & " /s " & FName

Shell (CommandLine)
