I am trying to use auto_open to create some toolbar buttons and the
hide the workbook containing the macros.

Everything works fine if I run the workbook from my hard drive or ove
a shared drive.

The prblem comes if the workbook is opened over the web by clicking o
a hyperlink.

In this case the workbook does not become invisible for some reason.
I've tried hardwiring the window name (from the web) into th
window.visible statement - but no luck.

Please help - this is driving me nuts !

The code in question:

macro_file = "http://server_name/sub_dir/my_macro_file.xls"
On Error GoTo not_web
Windows(macro_file).Visible = False
GoTo the_end
not_web:
is_visible = Windows("my_macro_file.xls").Visible
If (is_visible) Then Windows("my_macro_file.xls").Visible = False
the_end
