Disable Macros Automatically
I have a couple of spreadsheets that run automatically on a server and
various users open them just to view. Problem is.....when they click Enable Macros, they don't have the ActiveX controls on the spreadsheet on their local machine so they receive an error. Microsoft doesn't allow you to disable macros in code for obvious security reasons but does anyone have any ideas - short of just telling the users to DISABLE MACROS at workbook open or installing the controls on their machines - to not make the macros enabled or prevent them from gettin this error? Thank you |

Disable Macros Automatically
If you only need the macros for your automatic updating, why not
remove the macros from the workbook and place them in a separate addin?
