Hello Dave,

You were the one who helped me create the code and told me about the shift
key. Just for future searchers like me, I discovered on another question that
the shift key trick cannot be used in windows explorer, only when opening
through the application itself. Thanks for your incredible advice that has
helped immensly many times.

I'd guess that it was a finger/mouse-click timing issue.

I did File|open
selected the file
and shift-clicked on the open button (and continued to hold that shift key down)

And both the Auto_open and workbook_open procedures were not run.

I have a macro that runs upon opening a file. I believe that holding down the
shift key is supposed to disable automatic macros. It is not disabling. Any
suggestions?
