Opening Excel spreadsheets: How to get past security warning?

I'm writing a loop that Dir$'s through about a hundred MS Excel spreadsheets and
extracts info from maybe 5-20 workbooks within each into a staging table.

Problem is that I don't think I have any control over the user's MS "security
level"....which I think has tb set to "low" in order not to get a macro warning
every time MS Access opens up a sheet.

Per another thread, the "Certificat e" route does not sound practical.

Is there some other workaround I can try? Maybe running a non-Excel utility
that converts the sheets to some more benign format?

Hi, I'm having problems opening up excel thru my code. It will write and saveas an excel file, but the application won't open on the user's computer, excel seems to be hidden, because it shows up on the task manager. The problem is, if this user tries to download the data more than once, it gets stuck because the file already exists, so I want it to overwrite the old file...but the user can't overwrite when the excel app won't work! Any...

I have a DTS package that needs to refresh data in 3 separate Excel spreadsheets on a daily basis. The problem is that unless I manually delete the previous day's data, it appends rather than replaces. I can't delete the excel files on a daily basis, as they have to be there for the DTS package to be able to export to Excel. What I want to do is create a VBScript (ActiveX Control) to delete all the rows of data except the first row...

Good day, I have a web page that shows info retrieved from a MySQL db and I would like to convert all these data into an .XLS file. Have searched the net high and low but seems that I'm unable to find a free tool that can do the above and therefore I'm forced to do everything from scratch. Till now have developed two different versions of the programs and both somehow work but still have a small problem that I can't understand.

To my surprise and chagrin, newer versions of Access have disabled the functionality that lets users change the data in linked tables that point to a range in an Excel workbook. This is "because of legal issues..." according to Office Support. I have other issues, specifically a couple of applications that do things such as calculate price updates in Access and read them back by means of update queries into the spreadsheets our marketing...

My project has a reference to the Excel 9.0 Object Library. My understanding is that, by using a reference to 9.0, I make my application compatible with Excel 2000, 2002, and 2003. If I use a reference to 11.0, however, then my application is compatible only with Excel 2003. Is that correct? I've found that, as long as I use a reference to Excel 9.0, I get a warning which says "There are updated custom wrappers available for the...

I have the project that may never end in front of me. I am creating a routine that will take SpreadSheets from Excel and bring them into Access. I am not using any "DoCmd"s because the goal is for the import code to be moved to a stand alone VB app which will use the Access DB as a workspace to process the data from the spreadsheets. Quite honestly, done right this may not even require Access or Excel to be on the users machine. ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
