REPOST: NEED VB CODE TO AUTO END AND AUTO ENABLE MACRO.!!!

You can't bypass the Enable / Disable dialog box with a macro since the macro will never run unless the user presses enable. You would have to change their security level in Excel to Low, which will enable macros automatically.

To have it display the Open dialog box, put this in your code:

x = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Spreadsheets (*.xls),*.xls", , "Open File")
Workbooks.Open(Filename:=x).Activate

I don't want to bypass, I want to the macro to choose enable.
The Open box already displays. If the user selects cancel in the Open box
and when the end or debug box appears I want the macro to
automatically choose end. Sorry if I was not clear on what I
needed. - Milan

This code will make it so that if the user hits "Cancel" it will exit the macro and not go to the VBA editor or offer the option to debug.

x = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Spreadsheets (*.xls),*.xls", , "Open File")
If x = False Then
Exit Sub
End If
Workbooks.Open(Filename:=x).Activate

As for having a macro select "Enable" on the Enable/Disable macros dialog box--it can't be done, since no macro can run until macros are enabled.

The Open will not open the chosen file. I have tried to tweek your code but I am missing something.
My code prior to the BEN modification .
fileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("text file (*.txt)
If fileToOpen <> False Then
MsgBox "Open" & fileToOpen

Workbooks.OpenText FileName:=fileToOpen, Origin:=xlWindows

Yours x = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Spreadsheets (*.xls),*.xls", , "Open File") End If Workbooks.Open(Filename:=x).Activate

Re: REPOST: OOPS! Ben Not quite but almost. Help.

Milan,

The only thing I changed was added and End If to your code. Try this, it works for me:

Sub Auto_Open()

fileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("text files (*.txt), *.txt")
If fileToOpen <> False Then
MsgBox "Open " & fileToOpen
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=fileToOpen, Origin:=xlWindows
End If

End Sub

-Ben O.
