I stand corrected - guess I usually choose to disable macros when I open
that way. So perhaps your way is the best way, but certainly prone to
forgetting to do it.

Tom,

On my Windows XP, xl2002 machine the
Workbook Open event does not fire, but other macros continue to work.

Hard to say, but a side effect is that doing that disables all macros
for
that workbook which might not be desirable.

Maybe I am missing something here...
Pressing the Shift key when clicking the Enable Macros button
disables the Open event.
