Both are special--I just tried it again and the code didn't execute!

In fact, if xl were closed, I got some some error messages concerning some
addins--I kept holding the shift key down and clicked ok and then got the enable
macros prompt. I chose yes. Auto_open and workbook_open didn't run, but I
could run them later.

If xl were open, the same thing (except for the addin warnings) happened.

But IIRC, this might be the explanation.

I have macro security set to medium. I bet both you guys have macro security
set to Low!

(I think that was a Don Guillet find. Apologies to the real "discoverer" if it
wasn't Don--maybe Bob Phillips????)

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.
