Is it possible to open a VBA project for viewing only (even when it is
associated with a spreadsheet)? So without activating the macro (in case
there is a macro initiated by an Open event). In this way it would be
possible to check the macro for "virusses".

Thanks in advance,

Jan Bart

Why would you not just virus check the Excel workbook?

Hi Jan,

I'm not sure what you mean by " (even when it is associated with a
spreadsheet)" as distinct from "not associated".

To disable open events in Workbook_Open or Auto_Open events, when the macro
virus warning appears hold Shift, allow Enable macros and open the file.

Hello Bob,

My virus checker does not react on for instance the Kill command in my VBA
script. So virus checking does not make sense......

I find the option of using the Shift key when selecting Enable Macro's to
disable the Open event, a reasonable secure step in opening an Excel sheet
from an unverified source.
However i am still looking for an option to view the code without opening.
Do you have any clues??

Regards,

Jan Bart

Or just change macro security to the highest setting (temporarily).

This will stop all macros--even after the workbook is opened.

He is looking for a vba viewer, similar to xls viewer.
No, I don't know any.
Im not sure if such exists.
