Close alert / pop-up window automatically VBA

Question

Please try the code below, what is doing is downloading some data from the surface of a webpage, but I need it to work automatically and the proble appears when opening the Excel, the pop-up window. Is there any way to get rid of it automatically pressing ENABLE?

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" _
(ByVal pCaller As Long, _
ByVal szURL As String, _
ByVal szFileName As String, _
ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

Sub DownPDF()
' This macro downloads the pdf file from webpage
' Need to download MSXML2 and MSHTML parsers and install
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:01:10"), "DownPDF"
Dim sUrl As String
Dim xHttp As MSXML2.XMLHTTP
Dim hDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Dim hAnchor As MSHTML.HTMLAnchorElement
Dim Ret As Long
Dim sPath As String
Dim i As Long

sPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\ee28118\Desktop\Ordine\"
sUrl = "http://cetatenie.just.ro/wp-content/uploads/"

'Get the directory listing
Set xHttp = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP
xHttp.Open "GET", sUrl
xHttp.send

'Wait for the page to load
Do Until xHttp.readyState = 4
    DoEvents
Loop

'Put the page in an HTML document
Set hDoc = New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
hDoc.body.innerHTML = xHttp.responseText

'Loop through the hyperlinks on the directory listing
For i = 0 To hDoc.getElementsByTagName("a").Length - 1
    Set hAnchor = hDoc.getElementsByTagName("a").Item(i)

    'test the pathname to see if it matches your pattern
    If hAnchor.pathname Like "Ordin-*.2013.pdf" Then
        Ret = URLDownloadToFile(0, sUrl & hAnchor.pathname, sPath & hAnchor.pathname, 0, 0)

        If Ret = 0 Then
            Debug.Print sUrl & hAnchor.pathname & " downloaded to " & sPath
        Else
            Debug.Print sUrl & hAnchor.pathname & " not downloaded"
        End If
    End If
Next i

End Sub

Answer 1

try setting your Excel Security level very high or low on the desktop then Exel won't protect you from malicious code that might run when you open a workbook (but a good anti-virus software will do it anyway!)

• Very High means it won't ask you
• Low means it won't ask you.

The reason why it asks you to enable Macros is because a macro can actually harm to your PC. It is a security issue and you cannot override that feature automatically through VBA.

A person has to manually go to Excel: "Trust Center->Trust Center Settings->Macro Settings->Enable all macros(not recommended; potentially dangerous code can run)"
