Prevent Excel Alerts Using VBA / Macros

Full VBA Course: www.teachexcel...
VBA Quickie Playlist: • Excel VBA Quickies
Let's make our macro and VBA programming life a bit easier by turning off those pesky pop-up alert windows that ask for confirmation before completing certain actions.
This tip allows you to do things like this (without requiring confirmation):
Overwrite existing files using macros and VBA.
Delete worksheets using macros and VBA.
Changing file types and extensions using macros and VBA.
Pretty much anything else that requires a confirmation.
Note: Turning off alert pop-up windows in Excel will cause the default option from the alert window to be selected - usually this results in the desired action being performed, but please test your code on sample files first, to ensure you don't lose any data.

Thanks for this video. I got here searching for a solution to suppress warning messages about circular references. This trick does not seem to work for this particular case. Any ideas on how to do that?

Loved your video! Thank you

Great video. Can I ask what the numbers "52" and "51" is referring to? I'm more of a novice on coding. tia

Hi Mary, exactly what Enrike said - it tells VBA what file type you want to save it as. I cover this topic a little more in the next tutorials but I don't show a lot of specific examples for this specific thing - if you are taking my Full VBA Course though, it is covered in a lot more detail there because this feature works well for exporting data to other workbooks. If you're not taking my full vba course, you can get to it from my website: www.teachexcel.com
