Sorry, I thought I answered the question

Am I completely off-base with my approach?

What I was talking about was that a generic initialize method would be
(almost?) limitless in its combinations, thus it is not surprising it
doesn't exist.

Any suggestions basically would amount to writing an initialize class or
something similar that would handle all of your combinations,. but that
would probably take more effort that doing what you are doing.

No offence, but what exactly are you talking about?
I'm looking for suggestions not opinions.

Yep you are off base. Your view of initialize would be different than
mine,
would be different that ... etc. Together with different data
combinations,
added controls, and so on, and so on, the combinations are many.

I have 2 worksheets. Each one contains a few buttons.

When I open my workbook, I would like to initialize some of the
behavior on each worksheet. For example, I would like to disable
certain buttons on each worksheet.

I am quite aware of the workbook_open() routine and also aware that
I can iterate through the workbook to retrieve each worksheet.

However, I find it hard to believe that I can't initialize behavior
for each or certain worksheets upon startup.

Ideally, I would like to do this:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.<initialize <----- this would be nice
Next ws
End Sub

Suggestions?

Am I completely off-base with my approach?

thanks.
