Hi,

I have a macro that functioned fine in Excel 2000 but somehow is
different in 2003.
Now when trying to open the file to be updated is opened Read-Only and
subsequently cannot save automatically. When opening the workbook
manually it just opens.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Erik

Sub Auto_open()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
