Hi all,

I have a piece of code that opens another spreadsheet, imports some data,
saves a closes down that file. this file that has shared access so it can be
updated similtaneously over a network.

However, if I have this particular file open on my machine and I run the
above code, I get the prompt box stating,

"example.xls is already open. Reopening will cause any changes to be
discarded. Do you want to reopen example.xls?", Yes or No...!

Is there any way of answering yes to this prompt box within the code so it
does not appear?

Thanks in advance,

Bhupinder Rayat

Bhupinder,

This will reopen an open file without the warnings..
but note that any changes are discarded!

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open (sPath)
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
