Hi Jtr,

I suspect that your workbooks are saved to your XLStart directory. If so,
move the relevant files to another directory,

After spending enough time trying to figure this out I'll ask for
help.....

My code in in a template. It opens a workbook (created from access)
selects multiple ranges and then paste the selection into a new workbook
(created from the template) and does some formatting. pretty simple My
problem is whenever I open excel now, every workbook I've touched with this
process opens, automatically.
