Open a read only file as a writable file
I have a file that is marked as recommended read only. I would like to have
my macro open the file alter it and save it but I can't seem to automatically get rid of the message box when I open the file that asks if you would like it to be read only. I have tried workbooks.open(file,,false) And I have tried Application.DisplayAlerts = False workbooks.open(file) Application.DisplayAlerts = True The first method did nothing and the second method opened it as a read only file. Any suggestions? |
