I need this Auto_Open() macro to open the document listed and it works fine,
my problem is that :

1. I do not want it to become the active document
2. The name of the document running this routine can change. Otherwise I
would just add a statement to make C:/xxx.xls active.

Sub Auto_Open()
'
' AutoRun Macro
' '

Workbooks.Open Filename:="O:\PT_DRIVER_SCHED\Templates\EmployeeLi st.xls"

End Sub

Add:

thisworkbook.activate

to get back to the workbook with the code.

Patrick, If the document you want to be active is the same as the
document containing the Auto_Open sub, put this line in your Auto_Open
sub just before the End Sub line:
ThisWorkbook.Activate
