Hmmm.... Interesting - Don't work for me from
Windows Explorer.
Windows XP Prof and Excel 2002.

Works if I open it from within Excel....

A little bugette perchance or
- working as designed, even if it's not consistent!

It worked ok for me from windows explorer (win98 and xl2002).

The auto_open code didn't run and neither did the workbook_open event.
