Hi,
I was not clear before i think.

I have a worksheet named "My data". There is only 1
worksheet in the xls file.
But the macro is in the Personal.xls file, which is
available to any other worksheet opened.

I want the macro to be visible only when this file(My
Data) is opened. And it should be disabled when this file
is closed.

this way I don't get to see the macro, when I am working
on other worksheets

thanks.

In your personal.xls, in Workbook_Open , hide the toolbar

Application.Commandbars("Standard").Controls
("myButton").Visible = False

and then in the Workbook_Activate event for you
workbook, set it to true.

Tidy up with setting it to false in the
workbook_Deactivate event, and i the
personal.xls Workbook_BeforeClose event.
