hide excel...but not quite...
 

Hi,

I made a splash screen and it works fine but....this is the action that excel
carries out:

1. excel is started with no sheet (just the outline of excel) (i don't want
this)
2. I get a macro warning (i don't want this !)
3. the splash screen is shown (good, this is what i want)
4. i get an activeX warning (i don't want this)
5. My application is started (as itshould)

My questions:

- how do i get rid of steps 1, 2 and 4 ?

Thanks,
JP

If you have code in a workbook there is no safe way to eliminate the
security warnings. If you could so could those with malicious intent.

Create an add-in and load it through Tools | Add-Ins...

You're right someone with malicious intent could then easily use this...

I'm not sure of the activeX warning, but macro warnings can be
cirumvented by signing your addin with an officially issued electronic
certificate.
