Beejay,
Firstly, you cannot change the macro security setting programmatically. If
you could, it would be pretty pointless.
Secondly, if you disable macros, this code would not run anyway, so
..ScreenUpdating would not be affected.

The following opens the file, accessess the file, no problem.
I need code to "select" the default "macros NOT enabled" Setting.
Otherwise, I'm constantly getting a error message.
I've tried using 'select'.
I need the screenupdating = False, because of size and complexity of file.
