How about replacing your workbook_open with:

sub workbook_open()
call Continue_open
end sub

and put Continue_Open in a general module.

======
Or just try auto_Open and auto_close.

I don't have any more guesses why it doesn't work for you.

Well, a couple more...

Are events enabled when you open that workbook?
Do you enable macros when that workbook opens?

===
If you add a line like:
msgbox "hi from workbook_open"
right at the top, do you see that message box?

If yes, maybe it's something in your code later on.

Hi Dave,

Just a simple file open, not called from another macro

How are you opening the file?

If you have a macro in one workbook that opens this second workbook and that
macro is started by a shortcut key, remove the shift from that shortcut key
combination.

I do Dave. I can get this functionality to work in any other workbook, but
just not this one !

Thanks, Ozzy

You do have those procedures in the ThisWorkbook module, right?

Good idea Norman, tried it but to no effect. The code is not the problem, I
have replaced it with a simple message box pop-up but it still does not
work.. The code works fine when it is run directly after the workbook is open.

Cheers, Ozzy

Hi Ozzy,

Perhaps Events have been turned off.

Goto the VBE (Alt-F11)
Select the Immediate window (Ctrl-G)
Type: Application.EnableEvents = True
Hit Enter
Try re-loading the problematic file.

If the problem subsists, post your code.

I cannot get my Workbook_Open() or Workbook_BeforeClose() macros to run

the workbook is opened. The macros work fine in any other workbooks, just
not this one ... Any ideas?
