Glad you got part of your problem fixed.

I'm not sure when you get the error.

Do you get it when you open the workbook with the change you just made?

If yes, then maybe you changed something that you shouldn't have.

If you're getting the error when you click on the button, then it's not this
changed that caused the trouble. If the tabs or hidden or shown, the code
would work (or blow up) the same way.

To help debug the problem, you're going to have to find the workbook that's
causing the trouble. Then unprotect that workbook's project (in the VBE). And
save that (as a new copy).

Then close and reopen that new workbook. The project won't be protected, so
you'll get an option to debug. And that should point at the line of code that
caused the trouble.

Then fix that workbook and test it out. If it works fine, you can save as the
old name -- or fix the real workbook's project.

I saw the code and didn't notice anything in there that would change the
visibility of the tabs.

But there were lots of calls to a couple of macros that may do something that
you didn't share.

Try looking through those procedures to see if you have any
"DisplayWorkbookTabs" in them.

Heck, maybe searching the entire workbook's project for that would be
worthwhile.

But if you want to take the easy route (I would!)...

Just try:

....
loadWorkbook
Me.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False
End Sub

But I don't know what LoadWorkbook does. Maybe that line of code really belongs
in that procedure????

When I hide the tabs in xl2003 and save the workbook with that window's tabs
hidden, then the tabs are hidden when I reopen the workbook.

I don't have a guess why they're shown for you.

But maybe you could add a line in your workbook_open procedure to hide the tabs:

Me.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False

(Me refers to the object that owns the code--in this case, it's the workbook
itself.)

I am working in Excel 2003. I am not the designer of the program and there
are a lot of formulas, links etc in this program. However, i have placed
buttons from the forms toolbar and hide the tabs located at the bottom. In
otherwords they click on the bottom and it brings up the tab i hide and on
that page another button that says take back to the home page and hides that
tab again. My problem is when i close out the program and go back in the tabs
are back at the bottom and i have to hide them to make the buttons work. How
can i get them to stay hidden when the program is opened.
