That's not an edge for auto_open, it's just accommodating the possibility of
poor coding.

Even if the auto_open is the old way I think it may have the edge.

If you have run someone else's bad code on your machine then they may
have left your application as application.enableevents = false, if
this is the case then when you try to run the workbooks_open event it
won't fire.

The EnableEvents property doesn't seem to affect an Auto_open routine.

Stu,

Either name the macro Auto_Open and put it in a normal code module (old
way)
or put it in Worksheet_Open event code in ThisWorkbook code module (new
way).
