Default How Do I Open File???


I have a big problem.
In my workbook load i have code that opens a form.
The problem is that i set the properties of the form in such a way that
it never lets the form open up - it puts it through an endless loop.

Is there a way that i can open up the workbook without executing the
code in the workbook open?

Good afternoon tkaplan

Hold down the shift key while the workbook opens up. That will stop
any auto executing macros from running.

I tried that but it didnt work if i opened up the file directly.
When I open up excel and open the file from there then it does work.

THank you.:)

Hi tkaplan

Just to satisfy my own curiosity, can I ask what your security setting
is set to (Tools Macro Security)?

oh it's low. i work with way too many macros to have the patience to
tell it which to enable and which to disable. it's probably not so wise
but ....

Hi tkaplan

Just being nosey! Thanks for the prompt response.

But you could have set it to medium, opened the file, had it disable
macros and reset it to low. Just a thought...
