I'm not quite sure what you're doing, but if you saved your workbook as a
template (*.xlt in xl2003 and earlier), then the users would use it to create a
new workbook--not to open, edit and save as a new name.

Then you can check the path of that file:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
if me.path = "" then
'never been saved, so it's just been created
notsofast.show
end if
end sub


Double clicking on a .xlt file in windows explorer should create a new workbook.

I have a MASTER spreadsheet that 10 people on the team open. I created a
userform and set it to open when the spreadsheet opens.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
NotSoFast.Show
End Sub

I was under the impression that the NAME of the spreadsheet is what
triggered the userform. However, even after I change the name of the
spreadsheet it still opens my userform. What I need is for the userform to
come up ONLY when the MASTER spreadsheet is opened. Once the members of the
team "save as..." I don't want it to pop everytime they open their copy. How
can I make this happen?
