Workbook Open event
Hi
I have two workbooks called Book1 and Book2 Book2 has a password to open and is readonly When I open Book1 from Book2, the Workbook_Open event in Book2 doesn't run, or it runs but doesn't have any effect, even if I step through it. No error messages appear, it just doesn't work. The code is as follows 'Book1 Sub Workbook_Open Workbooks.Open "path to book2",,,open password ThisWorkbook.close end sub 'Book2 Sub Workbook_Open msgbox ok Call ShowSheets 'macro stored in Module1 which 'unhides hidden sheets sheet3.name = "Success" end sub The reason I want to open one workbook from another like this is because unless the main workbook, Book2, is password to open, it can be opened in Word and all the veryhidden sheets viewed. Hence I password to open Book2 and use another Workbook that doesn't contain any hidden sheets to open it. I'm using xl97 Thanks in advance |

Workbook Open event
Why not take out the workbook_Open event in Book2 and have all the code you
need to run in Book1 with proper references so it works on the right book. then have book1 open book2 and process it, then close itself. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Libby" wrote in message ...
