??Programmatically set security level to medium
Using Excel 2000, can I programmatically set the macrossecurity setting to
medium on open? Hunted high and low (pardon the pun) but can't seem to find anything that specifically says "no", although "yes" hasn't really come up either! |

For anything that can be done interactively, try doing it while the macro recorder is on. You'll see it doesn't record anything, so the likelihood is high that you can't do this. |

Hi
in addition to Harlan's answer: If you would be able to do this programmatically which would undermine the security purpose of this feature (weak as it is). So no where should be no way to do this (and there is none) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany DG wrote: Using Excel 2000, can I programmatically set the macrossecurity setting to medium on open?

??Programmatically set security level to medium
Hi Frank/Harlan
XL 2002/2003 Look at Application.AutomationSecurity in the VBA help -- Regards Ron de Bruin (Win XP Pro SP-1 XL2000-2003) www.rondebruin.nl "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ... Hi Harlan just curious - wouldn't the sendkeys macro only be activated AFTER you have allowed macros? Of course using a different Office application or workbook this could be feasible but opening the first workbook in Excel Sendkeys should also require the enabling of macros prior to their execution? -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Harlan Grove wrote: "Frank Kabel" wrote... in addition to Harlan's answer: If you would be able to do this programmatically which would undermine the security purpose of this feature (weak as it is).

If all macros are disabled, then there's only danger from other apps, but I know of no way to prevent a macro running in Word from affecting Excel via OLE. |

Or VB, which won't invoke a macro warning.
