I am running an auto_open macro at night using the XP scheduler. The macro
is in an empty spreadsheet xyz_template.xls. It imports data from multiple
sources and saves the loaded data each day with a unique name, say
xyz_2345.xls. (The xyz_template.xls remains unchanged ready for use the next
night). I then e-mail the xyz_2345.xls file to multiple recipients. Since
the auto_open macro is embeddied in this spreadsheet and since all our PC's
are set to Medium Security Level every recipient iis asked whether to
activate macros when they open the spreadsheet. I do not want them to
activate the macro and, in any case, it will fail on their machines. I would
like them to not know anything about the macro as the worksheet already
contains all the data they need

Is there a way for me to automatically deactivate the auto_open macro in the
loaded spreadsheet prior to distribution? Maybe some way of projecting
Application.EnableEvents = False from the xyz_template.xls to xyz_2345.xls

Thank you in anticipation of any responses
