I am not aware of any change of behavior in Excel 2000 with respect to
holding down the shift key suppressing the running of auto_open macros.

I was always under the impression that holding down the
SHIFT key while opening a workbook disabled the automatic
processing of the Auto_Open Macro. Are there other
settings that would cause this functionalilty not to occur
that I am not aware of with office 2000? Suddenly my
project ALWAYS executes the Auto_Open macro even while
holding down the SHIFT key.

Thanks,
