Where can I find the 'open file' switches?

Where can I find the 'open file' switches?

I'm trying to set a file to open and have it NOT ask to use the macros.
Just auto open and answere 'yes' to the 'use macro' question.

Isn't there a set of /switches you can use after a filename to make it open certain ways.

Where are the definitions and examples of how to use that?

CLARIFICATION: this is not an open command from VBA, but wanting to open a file on the desktop...

THANKS in advance! Phil

just found 'startup switches' but it does not have one for the above situation.

See Help for 'about digital signatures' and 'trusted publishers'.

BTW, my first job out of school was to design a SCADA terminal for Duke Power substations.

I've done Landis & Gyr and QEI systems. I almost hate to say it, but that can be some fun stuff... (yeah, I'm a little wierd)...


Auto execute...

I quess that is the reason they ask the question, so you don't mess things up by running unknown macros.

I tried putting the file in the excel/autostart folder, except it opens that file everytime excel is started.

I just want this file to start without any fuss.

Thanks anyways... Phil

There are ways by changing Registry settings, but as this is a Security issue most excel Forums do not allow such questions & answers.
