    Question How do i supress the file opening box?

    Hi All,

    I'm pretty good with VBA now and realy i should know how to do this but alas I don't.

    I don't want the annoying Loading box to appear when a file is opening in Excel 2007.

    Is there a way of doing this?

    Cheers Folks

    Create a shortcut to the application with this source

    “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE” /e

    It would be good if you could post your code and maybe a screen shot of the box. Boxes and messages can be tricky. I remember a couple of months ago the program was giving me an error that looked a lot like a msgbox I had two lines after the message showed up. It took me and a few others to figure out the code was not jumping backwards that it was something else. You get the point right?
