Hide popup when saving as PDF

[jaminben]

Hello,

I've created a piece of code which saves my workbooks to PDF using the Microsoft export as PDF thingy and it all works ok but I get an annoying popup telling me that its publishing the file.

Does anyone know how I can turn this off?

I've tried:



Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False


Here's a snippet of my code which saves the file as a PDF:

ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, fileName:= _
SaveFileName, Quality:= _
xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False


I've also attached a screenshot showing the popup I want to hide.

Many Thanks

Ben

Are you sure that you really want to or need to hide the popup? It just goes away on it's own when it's done

Application.DisplayAlerts = False doesn't affect it

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the speedy reply :)

I tried that line before but it didn't do anything and I wasn't sure if it really applied in this case as its not an alert thats popping up.

Your correct in that it goes away after its completed the task but I'm also executing the macro via an external VB project which batch converts 100's of workbooks at a time.
I'd really like it to completely hide everything excel does so I can just use my external form to display the overall progress of the batch conversion and this is the last thing that needs hiding so it appears excel is running silently.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Ben

Edit:

Actually where does that code go?

On its own or with this:


ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, fileName:= _
SaveFileName, Quality:= _
xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False

Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone

I had seen (I think) some code to totally 'freeze' the screen until unfrozen later in the macro.

I probably don't have it anymore because of the very high probablity of locking myself out of my own computer :rotlaugh:

As I vaguely recall, it used APIs or did something like assign CON: to NUL: until the macro un-did it later

If I find it, I'll post it
