Nigel,

Something like the following should work. You'll probably want to add some
error checking.

Dim WB As Workbook
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set WB = Workbooks.Open("C:\Book1.xls")
Application.EnableEvents = True

Hi All
I have a an application (workbook) running some VBA code, I want this code
to open another application (workbook) but prevent its open events being
fired to prevent the opened workbook VBA code running.

How do I do this?

Cheers
