Did you get this fixed? If not,...
you might try setting the "DisplayAlerts" property to false.
I'm having a similar problem with Powerpoint right now. I'm trying to PostMessage WM_CLOSE and it won't work because I have a modal dialog. This doesn't happen w/XL when the DisplayAlerts property is set to true and so far I've been unable to find a way w/Powerpoint to turn the damned Alerts off! (you can't close an MS office app w/a modal dialog displayed - even if the modal dialog is not visible).
hth.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
- Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"
