Default ADO connection not always enabled

Hi,

We have an excel application that we have added some ADO
code to import data from a SQL Server database (Excel
2002, WinXP, connected to SQL Server 2000 via UDL file,
ADO 2.5). We moved to an ADO connection due to more
flexibility with SQL statements than query defs.

There have been a number of random occurrences where a
user has opened the application, but the VBA/ADO
code/connection does not seem to run (application never
seems to prompt user to enable macros when this
happens). When this does happen, excel app opens up
fine, but ADO queries/code never run for specified events
(no error messages). Simply closing and opening the
application several times seems to somehow fix this
problem.. Is there a known reason for this? This is my
second post (hopefully someone will have an idea where to
look).

Thanks,
Vaughan
