Question

does anyone know a programmatic way to determine whether an excel file has a macro with it? i have hundreds of excel files and i need to know which files have macros in them?

Answer 1

I have tried it with 2 workbooks (1 having macros & another without the macros).

Application.AutomationSecurity = msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable

Workbooks.Open("c:\temp\myfileWithMacros.xls")
Msgbox ActiveWorkBook.HasVBProject
ActiveWorkBook.Close

Workbooks.Open("c:\temp\myfileWithoutMacros.xls")
Msgbox ActiveWorkBook.HasVBProject
ActiveWorkBook.Close

Hope that helps.
