This issue is still this:

Holding the shift key while opening a workbook stops the open macros
(workbook_open/auto_open) from running. And it can confuse excel enough so
that it doesn't know to continue with the remainder of your original code.

Since your shortcut key includes the shiftkey, excel thinks that it should stop
the auto_open/workbook_open procedures in the newly opened workbooks from
running. And since it stopped those procedures, it's gonna stop the rest of
yours, too. (That's the confusion part.)

Thanks for our thoughts

Hello Dave,

Does your code open another workbook and fail right after it opens that
workbook? YES

Does your shortcut key include the shift key? YES

Got your thoughts on the "Shift" key.

What is the issue "open another workbook?"

In fact, the macro opens a text file using an array which is ultimately Saved As .xls
