Manipulate a file in code (VB.NET) without executing the file's macros

Question

I have an Excel file that has a bunch of VBA and macro code in it. When I open the file in Excel I can choose not to \'enable\' them - so the values in the fields all stay as t

Answer 1

Application.AutomationSecurity = msoAutomationSecurity.msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable

Try opening the workbook after this statement. I think, this will disable macros at Application Level (not at workbook level)

Hope that helps.
