I am setting up a department file that requires macros to be enabled. I have the code working to the point of opening the save as dialog box, but I am unsure as to how I can force the file type to default to macro enabled. Hopefully someone can help this beginner figure this out.

Code:
 'This ensures daily manpower is filled out



NonProdData:
    
    If Range("M12").Value = "" Or _
       Range("M13").Value = "" Or _
       Range("M14").Value = "" _
    Then
       Dim answer As Integer
         answer = MsgBox("Have You Filled Out Your Shifts Daily Manpower?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Daily Manpower")
         
    If answer = vbYes Then
        With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .InitialFileName = "https://mfg.spt.ford.com/sites/mapfm/Shift Communications/January 2019/"
        If .Show = -1 Then .Execute
    End With

you cannot. Each PC has its own settings to prevent malicious code from doing what you are trying to do.
Each person must enable macros on their PC.

The standard workaround is
- add another sheet (SheetX)
- hide all original sheets (as VeryHidden) whenever workbook is saved
- unhiding VeryHidden sheets can only be done by VBA
- included a button on SheetX allowing user to unhide sheets
- button only works if macros are enabled
