I have about a hundred Excel files and I need to remove PageBreaks in all of them.
I found a few VBA suggestions and my current setup is this:

- Page_Breaks_Remover.xlsm
- Files (folder with Excel files)


In the Page Breaks Remover.xlsm I created a Module and have the following script

VBA Code:
Sub ProcessFiles()
    Dim Filename, Pathname As String
    Dim wb As Workbook

    Pathname = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Files\"
    Filename = Dir(Pathname & "*.xls")
    Do While Filename <> ""
        MsgBox (Filename)
        Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Pathname & Filename)
        DoWork wb
        wb.Close SaveChanges:=True
        Filename = Dir()
    Loop
End Sub

Sub DoWork(wb As Workbook)
    With wb
        For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
            ws.Activate
            ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
            ws.DisplayPageBreaks = False
        Next ws
    End With
End Sub

This code doesn't work however, although it iterates over files correctly.
The reason I try to switch View to Normal is because when I go and manually try to disable page breaks this option is disabled in the File > Options > Advanced menu in every file until I switch to Normal view.

Any help is appreciated.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Hi lumiere,

please check if the altered codeline does what you want:
VBA Code:
ws.Cells.PageBreak = xlNone
Ciao,
Holger
