Didn't notice you had already answered that question.

I was intrigued as to why you only get the Excel4macro warning in XL97. Bit
of a long shot - Hidden Name Space (access disabled in later versions).

In the VBA code, can you relate anything to this page -

Perhaps your workbook includes hidden Macro sheets. These are not in the
Worksheets collection, try 'Sheets' and/or look at Format Sheet Unhide
(if not greyed).

That part is resolved. I have tried unhiding all the sheets via the
format
menu, but find nothing. I looped through the sheets collection but found
nothing - but I still get an warning, when disabling macros, that there
are
Excel 4 macros that cannot be disabled. Where they are is a different
matter.
They do no SEEM to do anything obvious.

Peter,

it was hidden. I totally forgot to check that.

Another thought, do you have any Named formulas that include

macros.

Also, a workbook must always contain at least one visible sheet,
even if
it's an addin or a hidden workbook. So indeed you wouldn't be able
to
change
the visible property of the sole sheet in the workbook. Is the
workbook
hidden, like Personal.xls (main menu, Window Unhide).

hi,

I have inherited a spreadsheet that was written in 'Excel 97 but
when
I
try
to disable macros it says there are Excel 4 macros that cannot
be
disabled.
Where would I find them? There are VBA modules but I cannot see
any
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro statements. How are EXcel 4
Macros
executed?

Also, the spreadsheets opens another workbook by using a defined
name
called
Auto_open_logon which in turn calls a procedure in the other
workbook.
(I
had
never seen this before). The other workbook looks and behaves
exactly
like
an
Addin except that IsAddin is FALSE. It has one sheet which you
cannot
see,
although its visible property is set to xlVisible. If you try to
change
its
visible propery, you get a runtime error. (it is not protected,
I
checked).This workbook contains only forms and modules and an
unviewable
worksheet. Am I missing something? Is there an old pre-97 way of
making a
workbook an addin? Or is it a Excel 4 macro workbook - if that
is
possible?
It is driving me mad trying to work out why this workbook is
behaving
the
way
it does.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Chris
