Hello,

Is there a way to get rid of confirmation boxes popping up in Excel?
I use Excel 2000 on WinNT4 and I need to keep a spreadsheet open 24/7 doing
calculations. The problem is the sheet runs 50+ external database queries to
an sql server set to refresh every minute and occasionally a "Not enough
memory to complete query" error or similiar pops up with an "OK" button to
click.
The entire spreadsheet stops running any queries while this "OK" button
waits for someone to click it! Its very annoying. Especially when I check it
after a week and its had a message up since day2 and stopped.

Ideally I would like no boxes or warnings or errors to appear ever. The
queries will refresh and get the info the next time so I dont want the whole
sheet stopping just for one "OK" box!

Thanks in advance.

what addin more RAM to your PC?. hehehe sorry I dont think you could
disable that error message but have you tried.
Application.DisplayAlerts = false then set it back to true?.

it may work but I dont think so.

good luck

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I have added more RAM to the PC that runs the sheet and the SQL Server but
the errors still occasionally occur.

Where do I put the Application.DisplayAlerts = false?
I put it in a module in VBA editor and ran the macro. I tested it by making
changes to the spreadsheet and then closing Excel but I still got a "Save
changes?" confirmation box when I did this. I thought this message wouldnt
appear when I set DisplayAlerts false which leads me to believe I am using it
wrong.
