Workbook_Open event fails to fire
Using Office 2003 and Windows XP;
I have the following event in ThisWorkbook: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call FileOpenRequest End Sub In the above, FileOpenRequest is a function that first unhides a sheet and very hides a couple others, turns on sheet protection without any password, and a few other pretty basic settings so the opening sheet will look right for the user. The first time I open this file Workbook_Open runs perfectly. The second time I open the file in the same instance of Excel, Workbook_Open fails to fire. It is as though macros are disabled, even though they are not. Security is set to medium and it asks if macros should be enabled, of course I open with macros enabled. After the file loads, I can open the VBE and manually run the code and it runs fine. If I close Excel completely and open a new instance, it runs fine the first time, then it will never fire again in that instance. Does anyone have a clue why it is failing like this? And, more importantly, how the heck to fix it? Thanks much in advance for your assistance. |

Add a message box to the code below. When the workbook opens and the box
appears you can type CNTL Break to debug the code. Private Sub Workbook_Open() msgbox("opened workbook") Call FileOpenRequest End Sub "XP" wrote: Using Office 2003 and Windows XP; I have the following event in ThisWorkbook: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call FileOpenRequest End Sub In the above, FileOpenRequest is a function that first unhides a sheet and very hides a couple others, turns on sheet protection without any password, and a few other pretty basic settings so the opening sheet will look right for the user.

Okay, Joel. I think I discovered what is happening.
I have: Application.EnableEvents = False |

Workbook_Open event fails to fire
Nothing will run after the line "ThisWorkbook.Close" because when the
workbook is closed the macro stops running. The code below is better, but if the Save fails the events are not enabled ThisWorkbook.Save Application.EnableEvents = True ThisWorkbook.Close This is even better On Error go to finish ThisWorkbook.Save Application.EnableEvents = True ThisWorkbook.Close exit sub finish:msgbox("Error: Failed to Save Thisworkbook") Application.EnableEvents = True end sub "XP" wrote: Okay, Joel. I think I discovered what is happening. I have: Application.EnableEvents = False . . <some other code here . ThisWorkbook.Save: ThisWorkbook.Close Application.EnableEvents = True But, I bet once the file is saved and closed, the line to enable events doesn't take, thereby killing the macros on the next open. Am I right? How can I trap and control a close like this? I need the code to display a blank sheet on the way out in case the file is opened with macros disabled, etc. BTW, thanks for your help.
