hi people - hope you can help with this seemingly simple
bit of code!

i have the line...

Application.Workbooks.Open (JobListPath)

which obviously opens a workbook. but the workbook it
opens is readonly and i want to disable the "Readonly
dialog box" that pops up. so i added...

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.Workbooks.Open (JobListPath)

but this does not seem to work, so i changed the line to...

Application.Workbooks.Open
(JobListPath,IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended:=true)

but the syntax checker is complaining!

what am i doing wrong!?!?!

thanks in advance...
