Default What can inhibit an event handler?

XL2003 on XP
In one instance of Excel, I had two files open and then opened a third file
that has a macro that should fire on workbook_open. For some reason, this
macro did not run. I closed the third file and tried this twice more with no
success. In a second instance of Excel I opened this file and the macro
fired.

I know that if I had a macro running (or stopped for some reason) and I
opened the third file, I would not expect its workbook_open event handler to
run. I know that wasnt the case here. Does anyone know of anything else
that could cause this to happen? Its not a show stopper, but it certainly
has me puzzled.
