Hi all,

in Excel versions before E2007 it was possible to open a workbook without
running the "Workbook_Open" macro by holding the "Shift" key. This does not
seem to work any longer in Excel 2007. Macro Settings in the Trust Center are
set to "Enable all macros".

Does anybody know a workaround?

Thanks for your help.

Andreas

If you have any other macros with hot key having Shift combination remove
that and try.

If this post helps click Yes

Hi Jacob,

thanks for your tip. Unfortunately, it does not help. Workbook_Open still
runs.

I cannot replicate your problem.

I have a workbook.xlsm with Workbook_Open code.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "hoohah"
End Sub

If I hold the shift key while opening, the code does not fire, else it does
fire.

I saw that problem also a long time ago with testing but it seems to be fixed if you run the latest updates

For Andreas
What Service Pack are you running

UPDATE:

I could prevent the Workbook_Open macro from running in a new workbook!
Since I cannot stop it from running in my existing one, it must be something
in that workbook. I'll have to go investigating myself. Will keep you posted.

Thanks all for your input
