Application.AutomationSecurity=msoAutomationSecurityLow
Thanks in advance!
You can "Trust" the document in Excel. It's a setting available from Options.
Here is a link with more information on how to do this:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/trusted-documents-cf872bd8-47ec-4c02-baa5-1fdba1a11b53
Here is a relevant snippet from the article:
Trusted documents are files that have active content (macros, ActiveX controls, data connections, and so on) and open without the Message Bar after you enable the active content in them. For a trusted document, there is no prompt when you open the file, even if new active content was added, or changes that you make to the existing active content. However, the prompt appears if the file was moved since you last trusted the file. After a document is trusted, it does not open in Protected View. Therefore, you should trust documents only if you trust the source of the file.

I'm developing an Excel AddIn and faced one issue.
1st issue: When user inserts the AddIn to the Excel (web) - user needs
to click any ribbon command to start loading plugin files.
2nd issue:
When plugin already inserted, the files are being downloaded.
However, if user click any command before files downloaded, nothing
happens.
I can disable all commands and enable them when source code downloaded. BUT this not works when user inserts AddIn for the first time. He MUST click any command to start downloading source code.
Question: is there any solution to force load Excel AddIn source on initial insertion?
P.S.
Startup behavior works only for the next opening of AddIn. If manifest has something similar - would be nice to know.
Env: Excel (on the web), OfficeJS API, Shared runtime, windows (if it's matter)
P.P.S. The problem - user clicks on enabled button to open taskpane, but nothing happens (the downloading just started).
I want to save a modified Azure Workbook. But after I click on Done editing I can not leave the page and move back to the resource group I get the message
Your unsaved edits will be discarded.
Do I miss to click on something? I can see the save icon, but when I click on that it just wants to store it in a new workbook and not in the existing one.
The problem appears, when I opened the workbook via the resource group. In that view I was unable to save the changes.
This was solved by opening the Azure Workbook via the Azure Monitor. A click on the save icon stores the changes in the current workbook.
Why won't my document that i'm checking out from SharePoint not open after the checkout?
The status of the document after the check on SharePoint shows that I checked out the document but it won't open automatically.
What's even more annoying is that I don't know where the file has been checked out to.
Is there any way to find out where the document is being checked out to and how to get it to open automatically after the checkout?
I tried it both on Chrome and IE.
Check Out in short means "Reserve the file for me so that no one else makes any changes to it. It does not mean "Open the document"
SharePoint also shows the Checkout status and to whom it is checked out. I will be able to explain more if you tell me "what exactly you see" and why you think these details are missing.
In Sharepoint the checkout prevents other user to modify the document.
You can then open the document clicking on the title.
Your client application (Word for example) will open the document directly from the Sharepoint site.
When you will save the document after changes, it will be saved on the site.
You don't need to save a local copy because the document library works like as a shared folder.
You can even connect the document library on a drive letter if you want.
Try this from a command prompt:
net use k: http://YourSite/YourDocumentLibrary
This will create a network drive that point on the library.
(it works only with WebClient service running on client machine).
The best way to "checkout and edit" is to open the document using its sharepoint url.
For example, if you have a Word file to edit, you can copy its sharepoint url and go to MS Word and paste it in Open dialog box.
You will be asked for credentials and then it shows the checkout button on top of the document.
Later, you can checkin the edited doc using checkin option in file menu.
If I open a doc in read only mode I'm able to press save and then it opens up a save as box and the default directory is the directory on the sharepoint server and if you press save you save it to the server.
This actually makes the whole process not really "read only" mode since I could actually update the document.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening so that if someone chooses read only there is no way possible to updload any changes back to the sharepoint site?
Also, it has been suggested as a solution to get rid of the edit/read only option so that people have to check out the document. Is there a way to remove the edit/read only option on documents?
Rather than relying on the client software to prevent saving, you need to modify the permissions on the server - give the user read only access to the document or even the whole list. That way they will get an access denied error if they try what you describe or uploading a different file with the same name.
The Read-only and Edit prompt are driven by SharePoint and a setting in the DOCICON.XML file. If you have added PDF as a Document extension inside the DOCICON.XML you will need to also add an additional attribute in the line and that is opencontrol=”” this seems to stop SharePoint from applying it's header to open the document.
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.gif" OpenControl=""/>

I've created an add-in and installed it, but now when I open Excel I get an error pop-up telling me that the add-in file is a security risk and that automatic updating of links is disabled. I've looked it up and it refers to the Windows DDE protocol, but what does that have to do with this add-in? Does anyone know what's happening behind the scenes here?
Thanks
Excel does not know if the add-in is truly trusted so it is killing Dynamic Data Exchange so that your shiny new add-in can't download malicious code without the user knowing it. You are going to want to tell Excel to trust the plugin using the Excel trust center (Office Button > Excel Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings Button). Look at both the Add-Ins section and the Macro Settings section.
One thing you might want to consider is signing your code with a certificate (tools > Digital Signature in the Vb editor) and then having your end users add your cert to the trusted publishers. If your end users are in a domain setting, the trusted publishers can be set as a domain policy so the end users won't even have to think about it.
