Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to develop a batch process that could
open a series of spreadsheets (optional really cause no one needs to
look at them), execute a certain macro (or several) in each one, then
print a certain sheet (or several) from each spreadsheet.

Thanks.

That's what automation is about. You might search on "excel automation".
I'm sure you'll get hits.

The batch process as you call it is itself a macro. You will need to
define rules of which workbooks are to be opened, which information is
to be pulled from them (I'm guessing this is the "certain macro"
you're referring to), and which sheets from them will need to be
printed. Once you have those figured out, you can translate these
rules into VBA code that will automate the process.

Thanks. But this would still require some human intervention to open
Excel and run the macro. Ideally, I am looking to develop a process
that can be run at certain date/time as a scheduled task.

Windows Task Scheduler to open Excel and run the workbook_open event code?

What if someone wants to open the spreadsheet for viewing without
running the VB code?

Open in safe mode or hold SHIFT key while opening.

Or............

Set security to medium and disable macros when asked.
