I have this code to populate a ComboList with folder names. Works great but when it runs it gives me a SentinelOne security alert. I stepped through the code and the alert seems to be triggered by this line of code:

VBA Code:
Archive_Open_Year.List = Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c Dir ""\\GLC-SERVER\Pulte\Z_Pulte Master Archive\*."" /b").stdout.readall, vbCrLf)

...and here's the error:

Am I stuck with the alerts?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I'm guessing that SentinelOne doesn't like that my script is creating a macro-enabled file.
