Give Application.EnableEvents = False a try. DO NOT Forget to set this

I am using a macro that opens other workbooks to collect information from
those workbooks, but some of these have an open_workbook sub in the
thisworkbook object. I don't want the open_workbook sub to run when I open
these workbooks and have my macro retain cotrol over things. When I try
using "Application.AutomationSecurity = msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable"
before opening the workbook, the workbook will open but then things stop
completely with visual basic still running but waiting in the module
containing the macros I just disabled when opening the workbook. How can I
avoid this? Thanks for any help.
