Hi,
i have this VBA script to load data from another sheet but the sheets i load from contain Workbook_Open macros. Whenever i run the script the macro is triggered
Is there a way to prevent this?

My code below loads up file explorer, i click on my source workbook and it opens
Msgbox pops up from the source Workbook_Open macro (trying to prevent this)

DisplayAlerts.False doesnt work for this

Code:
Sub LoadData()


Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False


Dim FileName As String
Dim WS1 As Worksheet
Dim WS2 As Worksheet


Dim ActiveListWB As Workbook
ChDrive Range("D2").Value
ChDir Range("D3").Value


    Set WS1 = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
    FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls*),*.xls*", _
                                               Title:="Select Timesheet to Import", _
                                               MultiSelect:=False)
    
    If FileName = "False" Then
            Exit Sub
        Else
            Set ActiveListWB = Workbooks.Open(FileName)
    End If
    
    Set WS2 = ActiveListWB.Sheets("SourceData")
    
    WS2.Range("A2:A1000").Copy WS1.Range("A2")


    ActiveWorkbook.Close False
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True


End Sub

any help appreciated
