Is it possible to hide a workbook instantly when it opens?
I currently have

Set newBook = Workbooks.Open(fileName)
Windows(fileName).Visible = False

I also tried

Set newBook = Workbooks.Open(fileName)
With newBook
..Windows(fileName).Visible = False
End With

In both cases the workbook flashes on the screen for an instant.
That's clumsy. Is there a way to prevent that without saving the
workbook as hidden?

Thanks

Forgot about that one, thanks.
By the way, you guys should register on the forum so you can view an
post at times other than 5 minutes after the hour so you don't kee
answering the same questions. Not that I mind two answers... but yo
could help people more quickly. Just a thought

The forum is a little pond. the big pond where most of the people asking
and answering questions are is located at

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...el.programming

the forum just interfaces with the big pond.

I don't think Tom or I will give up the NGs for a web forum. The NGs are
leaner, quicker, and better (why else would all the forums send their stuff
here).

And I don't think too many people complain about the speed of their
responses.
