thanks for your suggestion. I tried it but am not getting the desired
result. In which project should the class module be stored? I want
to trap events regardless of which file the user opens in Excel, and
don't want to install add-ins. Thanks

hi, Aurora !

instead of using code within your template ("book.xlt") give a try to application level events

__ OP __

I'm trying to accomplish the following in Excel 2003: Intercept theSave / Save As command
and prompt user to enter a string that will be used to populate one of the document properties.
This was easy enough for any new documents (via Workbook_BeforeSave placed in BOOK.XLT).
However, how can I achieve this for files the user, say, receives via email from someone else?
I came across a post suggesting Win32 API for *a similar task. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
