[AccessD] Preventing user prompts from Excel

Hi John,
Try xlApp.DisplayAlerts = False
(it's the equivalent of DoCmd.SetWarnings False)

I am doing imports from data sent to us in Excel spreadsheets which I
Link to the db then build queries on the resulting "table".  In order to
make sure that the spreadsheet is named something consistent (so that
the link functions correctly), I am using the following function to
rename a spreadsheet in Excel.

Function XLRenameSpreadsheet(strFileName As String, strTblName As
String) On Error GoTo Err_XLRenameSpreadsheet
    Dim xlApp As Object
    Dim xlWs As Object
    Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.application")
    
    xlApp.Workbooks.Open strFileName
    Set xlWs = xlApp.Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1)
    xlWs.Name = strTblName
    
Exit_XLRenameSpreadsheet:
On Error Resume Next
    xlApp.Workbooks(1).Close True
    Set xlWs = Nothing
    If Not (xlApp Is Nothing) Then xlApp.Close: Set xlApp = Nothing Exit
Function
Err_XLRenameSpreadsheet:
        MsgBox Err.Description, , "Error in Function
basUtils.XLRenameSpreadsheet"
        Resume Exit_XLRenameSpreadsheet
    Resume 0    '.FOR TROUBLESHOOTING
End Function

Unfortunately I get a message:

	 "XXX.XLS is a Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 workbook.  Do you want to
overwrite it with the latest Excel format" 

when I try and do the save

    xlApp.Workbooks(1).Close True

Since this is an automated process there is no one around to answer yes
(Excel can be so stupid sometimes).

Is there any way to force a yes (or no, I don't really much care what
the format is!)
