Hi,

I am trying to embed multiply files (with different file extensions) in a folder using a loop. Adding the files works great, the problem is that when adding the files I get a pop-up for every single file asking "Do you want to open this file?" How do I prevent this from happening? I don't want the pop-up and I don't want the file to open.

I have tried to set application.enableevents and application.displayalerts to false but that doesn't help.


VBA Code:
Dim obj As OLEObject

Set obj = wsOutput.OLEObjects.Add(Filename:=strPathAndFilename, link:=False, displayasicon:=True)

with obj
  .height = 100
  .width=100
end with

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Hi you can try turn off the alerts, don´t forget to turn them on after finishing.

VBA Code:
'Turn off alerts before running your code'
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Dim obj As OLEObject

Set obj = wsOutput.OLEObjects.Add(Filename:=strPathAndFilename, link:=False, displayasicon:=True)
with obj
  .height = 100
  .width=100
end with
'Turn it back on after running your code'
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
