Hi everyone,

This might seem trivial to many but I don't seem to understand it why I
am having trouble with this. I have the following code


Code:
--------------------
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim Today As String
Today = "=Today()"

With Worksheets(4)
If .Cells(4, 1).Value < Today Then
Rows("4:4").Insert Shift:=xlDown
.Cells(4, 1) = Today
End If
End With
End Sub

--------------------


As you can see, I want to compare a cell with today's date. If it's
not today's date, then add a new row (since data will be added). The
code looks correct to me, but I don't doubt something is wrong since it
obviously is not working properly. Everytime I open the workbook, it
adds a new row regardless whether cell A4 has today's date or not.
Does anyone have any insight as to what may be going on?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry. Clearly, there is only one "Private Sub Workbook_Open()" in th
code. Ignore one of them (since it is not in my code).

The code worked fine for me.

2 suggestions however...
1) change Today to strToday
- this puts you in the habit of using traditional nomenclature for
variables
- this stops issues that can arise from using the same name as a funtion
Today()
2) put a '.' in front of your code
Rows("4:4").Insert Shift:=xlDown
so that if you are on another worksheet, the row will only be inserted on
worksheet(4)
ie: .Rows("4:4").Insert Shift:=xlDown

Sorry I couldn't help more.
Have you tried stepping through the code to see where something might be
going wrong?

Sincerely,

Thanks a lot Gary! The issue was resolved as soon as I put the '.' in
front of my code.
