Shift key to disable macros not working
I have a macro that runs upon opening a file. I believe that holding down the
shift key is supposed to disable automatic macros. It is not disabling. Any suggestions? -- David P. |

You might try setting your macro security to Medium.

Shift key to disable macros not working
I'd guess that it was a finger/mouse-click timing issue.
I did File|open selected the file and shift-clicked on the open button (and continued to hold that shift key down) And both the Auto_open and workbook_open procedures were not run.

Shift key to disable macros not working
Hello Dave,
You were the one who helped me create the code and told me about the shift key. Just for future searchers like me, I discovered on another question that the shift key trick cannot be used in windows explorer, only when opening through the application itself. Thanks for your incredible advice that has helped immensly many times. -- David P. "Dave Peterson" wrote: I'd guess that it was a finger/mouse-click timing issue.

Shift key to disable macros not working
Hmmm.
I held the shift key while opening a workbook by double clicking in windows explorer and it worked ok (er, the auto_open procedures weren't run). (If excel were closed, then none of the addins loaded, though.) It might be easier to try if you select the file, then hold the shift key, then hit enter. (Remember to continue to hold the shift key until the file opens.) David P. wrote: Hello Dave, You were the one who helped me create the code and told me about the shift key.
