Default Manual Calculate for Excel Workbook

Hi All,

I have Excel 2003 and am trying to get a workbook not to auto-calculate.

The workbook is opened through a button on the menu bar. In the procedure I
set Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual, then open the workbook.
In the workbook's Deactivate event I set Application.Calculation =
xlCalculationAutomatic and in the Activate event I set it back to
xlCalculationManual. However, when the I set the Calculation in the
Deactivate event the workbook I don't want to be calculated is calculated.

Next I tried to use the workbook's Protect method with an empty password.
Again, the workbook calculates in the Deactivate event.

Anyone have any ideas on how a workbook can be set not to auto-calculate
while leaving the others on auto-calculate?

Thanks

Ed
