Prevent Office 2003 Message "Would you like to open this file ?"

[vodkasoda]

I am using a hyperlink command to run an external application from an Excel 2003 VBA program :

ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "e:\KIK Files\" & TeamDetsTeam & ".KIK"

I am getting a pop-up window that says ...

Opening e:\KIK Files\TEAMNAME.KIK

Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer.

It is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source.

Would you like to open this file?

Now, I can find instructions on how to prevent this, under the following heading, "How to disable hyperlink warning messages in Office 2003" at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829072 ... However, these instructions do not relate to my PC, which runs Vista Home Premium, so I am guessing that they are XP instructions.

Can anybody explain to me how to prevent getting this pop-up message in Vista ?!?

Thanks in advance ...

Try:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "e:\KIK Files\" & TeamDetsTeam & ".KIK"<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Application.DisplayAlerts = True<o:p></o:p>

<o></o>
