Phil,

The Auto_Open macro is not executed when a file is opened via VBA.
You can call the RunAutoMacros method to execute the Auto_Open
procedures.


Workbooks("Housing BSC for 2004.xls").RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen

I have the following macro code in the Personal.xls
workbook to open a workbook:

Sub OpenBSC()
Workbooks.Open ("W:\Housing\Housing BSC for 2004.xls")
End Sub

However, the sub ignores an AutoOpen() sub in the target
workbook's Module1. How do I make the macro run the
Module1 AutoOpen() in the target workbook?

Thanks, Phil
