How to Remove Workbook_Open macro?
 

I have a Workbook_Open macro which is only required when the document is
opened for the first time by a user. I want to have it remove itself
after running. I suspect the answer lies in removing a VBComponent but
I don't know how to tackle this.

Can anyone help? Point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Rather than writing complex code to edit code modules, why not just save a
registry value the first time the macro is run successfully, and have the
macro check for this variable when the workbook is opened.
