Bypass Apple's Excel 2016 Sandbox Requirements

[DWhit217]

I have the following macro which increases/decreases material pricing from one "Master Key" to multiple files (pricing templates) in an "/Update/" folder. This macro worked fine for Excel 2011 but when we moved to Excel 2016 it is asking permission to open a folder and I can't select the folder to give it permission.

I reviewed THIS ARTICLE which explains how to fix the situation but honestly I'm confused how I can incorporate that code into my code.

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

See code below:

Sub FactorChange_Price()    Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
    Dim MyFiles() As String, Fnum As Long
    Dim Filename As String
    Dim mybook As Workbook
    Dim CalcMode As Long
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    Dim ErrorYes As Boolean


    'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
    MyPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & "/Update/"


    'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
    FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath)
    If FilesInPath = "" Then
        MsgBox "No files found"
        Exit Sub
    End If


    'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of Excel files in the folder
    Fnum = 0
    Do While FilesInPath <> ""
        Fnum = Fnum + 1
        ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum)
        MyFiles(Fnum) = FilesInPath
        FilesInPath = Dir()
    Loop


    With Application
        CalcMode = .Calculation
        .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With


    'Loop through all files in the array(myFiles)
    If Fnum > 0 Then
        For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
            Set mybook = Nothing
            On Error Resume Next
            Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(Fnum))


            If Not mybook Is Nothing Then




                'Change cell value(s) in one worksheet in mybook
                With mybook.Worksheets("Project")
                        .Range("A1").Value = "Success"
                        '.Range("O63:O73").Value = .Range("O63:O73").Value + Workbooks("Master_Key").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D4:D14").Value
                        .Range("G25") = Format(Now(), "mm-dd-yy")
                        .Range("H25") = Format(Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("C27").Value, "mm-dd-yy")
                        .Range("I25") = Format(Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D27").Value, "mm-dd-yy")
                        '.Range("G19") = DateAdd("m", 3, Now())
                        '.Range("O63:O73").Value = Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("C4:C14").Value
                        
                        'Material Cost Factor Change Formulas
                        .Range("E17") = .Range("E17") + Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D4").Value

                        .Range("E21") = .Range("E21") + Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D8").Value
                        .Range("E22") = .Range("E22") + Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D9").Value
                        .Range("E23") = .Range("E23") + Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D10").Value
                        .Range("E24") = .Range("E24") + Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D11").Value
                        .Range("E25") = .Range("E25") + Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D12").Value

                        .Range("E27") = .Range("E27") + Workbooks("Master_Key.xlsm").Worksheets("Master_Key").Range("D14").Value
         
                    End With
                    
                        Application.Calculate
                        Filename = Range("C11")
                        ActiveWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadWrite
                        Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & ":" & Filename, FileFormat:=53
                        mybook.Close savechanges:=False
                    
            End If


    


        Next Fnum
    End If


    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
        .Calculation = CalcMode

Quick Update: I was able to bypass the File Permission prompt and open by placing the file in the following location: /Users/dropfitness/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Cost/Update but it won't save a new file at that location.
