Merge changes prompt

[ErikJan]

I'm opening a Word coument in Word (from Excel VBA). I get a "Do you want to merge changes..." prompt but I don't want that (No,I don't want to merge changes). How do I prevent that in vba?

Excel call is:
Set wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open(myPath + f, , True)

Have you tried:

Aplication.DisplayAlerts = False

[ErikJan]

That doesn't work (tried that). Maybe I should do that in Word...?

Problem is also that this automatically selects the DEFAULT prompt: that is MERGE in this case and I don't want that..

If

wordApp.DisplayAlerts = False

doesn't help, you might try

SendKeys "N"

(I would have thought that everybody would have turned off the "Add properties to attachments to enable Reply with Changes" setting in Outlook that causes this prompt by now...)

Thanks, I found the Word displayalerts worke for me. The Word docs were attachments to emails but I opened them from a folder on my HD.
