Ahem - ignore previous reply.
I was unsure why it worked ok in Office 97 but not in 2000.
Browsing MS I did find an article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=260993 that suggests
that one should use
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents if you want
to refer to the project of the active workbook. I'm just
not sure why my workbook is not seen as the active one
during the running of the code.

-----Original Message-----
Just like you can have calculation going on in a sheet
that is not the
activesheet or run code on such sheets/workbook, the
activeproject has no
correlation to the code that is running. Use

thisworkbook.VBProject

Hi.

When you open Excel 2000, it opens a default blank
worksheet.
If I then open a worksheet containing VBA code, and run
the code, why does Excel still think that

Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject

is the project belonging to the default blank sheet, and
not the one belonging to the activeworkbook ?

Is this a bug? I can't see how, when code is actually
running, the project running that code is not seen by
VBA
as the ActiveProject.
