Olie,

Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the file and the code won't run.

I wish to open a workbook that has Auto_Open installed. I merely want to
extract information from a specific cell. My proglem is that the workbook
when opend will run Auto Open. Is there a way to prevent the Auto_Open
macro
from execuiting?
I appreciate the help.
