But thanks for trying!

I see, upon googling, that there are lots of referecnes to macros and
such, particularly ones that start when you opne a file. To my
knowledge, mine deosn't, It does have such a macro but I had
commented out the subroutine nmae and every rows but one. I found one
line in the workbook open macro that I did not comment out because it
was a continutation of a prior line, so I figured I didn't need to
comment it out. But, after doing that and resaving, it seems Ok for
now. I'm not sure there will be a magic answer for me.

I just wonder why it would say there is a problem and, then after I
ask it to fix it, it would say there was nothing to fix. Classic
Microsoft, I guess!

Still open for any explanations, even though I am probably Ok for now.
