HI there,

small problem........i was hoping that once the code
ran...that was it.
Prob is, when the file is saved, closed and then open
again, the code
can run once more. I will run only once when clicked on
un-saved file
but i want to prevent a user from running the code more
than once
permanently. Can someone help???

Cheers!!!
