Dave,

Thanks for the info. That sounds like it might work.

But after you mentioned that you cant change the calc mode w/o any
visible workbooks open, it got me thinking.

Couldn't I wrap an IF statement around my code checking for open,
visible workbooks? If so, how would I check for the open, visible
workbooks?

Thanks again,

Conan

Untested....

If you close all your workbooks, but leave excel open, you'll notice
that you
can't change the calculation mode.

Excel wants a workbook open/visible when you do this.

Maybe you could add a little bit to create a new workbook to your
code:


dim tempWkbk as workbook

application.enableevents = false
set tempwkbk = workbooks.add
application.enableevents = true

'do your stuff

tempwkbk.close savechanges:=false

Hello all,

I have the following code in a class module 'EventClass' in my
personal macro workbook so it will run each time a new file is
opened:

Public WithEvents App As Application

Private Sub App_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
If Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic Then
' Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
' Application.CalculateBeforeSave = False
Application.CommandBars("My Toolbar").Controls(2).Caption =
"AutoCalc On"
Application.CommandBars("My Toolbar").Controls("AutoCalc
On").TooltipText = "Turns AutoCalc Off"
' MsgBox "AutoCalc is now OFF.", vbInformation, "AutoCalc
Status"
Else
' Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
' Application.CalculateBeforeSave = True
Application.CommandBars("My Toolbar").Controls(2).Caption =
"AutoCalc Off"
Application.CommandBars("My Toolbar").Controls("AutoCalc
Off").TooltipText = "Turns AutoCalc On"
' MsgBox "AutoCalc is now ON.", vbInformation, "AutoCalc
Status"
End If

End Sub

The problem I am having is if I open Excel normally (standard Excel
shortcut in start menu etc. with a new blank workbook), I get no
errors. But if I open Excel by dbl clickin an Excel file, I get a
'Type mismatch' error. Also, I get this same error if I open Excel
with the /e switch (no splash screen & no workbook opened--this is
the
preferred way, I'd like to put this in my 'Startup' folder in my
Start
menu).

Is there a way I can modify this so I won't get the error when
opening
Excel the two problematic ways described above?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Conan Kelly
