I use VBA in Word and Excel quite a bit, but every now and then Ihave venture into VBS to run something outside of the app. My way of saying that I know very little about VBS. In this instance, I needed to create and call a script from within Excel VBA that will open a Word document on a server path, and then save all my Excel files and close them. The Word doc is a file update menu for my users and has several macros in it that require Excel to be completely closed.
Anyways, it all works - except for one small hitch. When the Word doc opens, my users will get a security warning prompt about enabling macros. There's nothing I can do to prevent this due to corporate IT policies and settings on macro security: anything with macros must be presented with the warning so the user can specifically click Enable or not.
That itself is not the problem - it's the command prompt window. It covers the macro warning. The script isn't finished until after the doc opens, so the cmd window hangs out, hiding the macro warning.
Can I modify this VBS script so it runs without showing the command window?
