Try cleaning up your windows temp folder.

close excel
Windows start button|run
%temp%
and delete everything you can.

Sometimes, the mass of temp files confuses excel.

If that doesn't work, I'd try moving the code from workbook_open to Auto_Open
(in a general module).

If that didn't work, I'd try:

option explicit
sub Workbook_open()
* application.ontime now + timeserial(0,0,1), "Continue_Open"
end sub

And create a
Sub Continue_Open()
* 'with your code
* 'in a general module
end sub

Did this problem cause corruption of your excel files? If so, maybe
you can try a popular Excel file recovery tool called Advanced Excel
Repair to repair your Excel file. It is a powerful tool to repair
corrupt or damaged Excel files.
