Øyvind,
Not sure what you mean by "out of focus", but you can stop execution with
the "Stop" statement, which will put you in Break mode.

You can open the wb with macros enabled, but not running the _Open macro by
using Shift + Control when opening.
Is that what you want ?

I have a workbook that goes "out of focus" in my system. The reason is
that a
macro is looping when excel starts and the computer does not get anny
control
of this workbook.

I want to read out macrocode from a module and worksheet?
or
stop the execution of the workbook when it starts. clt+alt+del does not
work,
I have a MS XP operating system.
