Macro to open file bypasses Auto_Open
I have the following code.
Workbooks.Open Filename:=vOpen, UpdateLinks:=3 But when I run this it does not process the macro Auto_Open. Why is this? I would like for code to run on the opening of the file regardless of how the user opened it. (ie. If they opened it using File / Open on the menu then yes, the Auto_Open would run. But I also want code to run even if they write their own macro to open it.) Thank you, Steven |

That's the way excel was designed to work.
Lots of times, developers want to open the workbook without having that macro run (maybe they're automating something and want to avoid some msgbox/inputbox in that auto_open procedure. But MS did give you a way to run that procedure. dim wkbk as workbook set wkbk = workbooks.open(filename:=vopen, updatelinks:=3) wkbk.RunAutoMacros which:=xlAutoOpen (there are other options for the Which parm, too--see VBA's help for RunAutoMacros). Interestly (well, maybe <bg), MS does the opposite with the Workbook_Open event. That runs unless you stop it. dim wkbk as workbook application.enableevents = false set wkbk = workbooks.open(filename:=vopen, updatelinks:=3) application.enableevents = true Steven wrote: I have the following code.

Never mind. I think this was an EnableEvents issue. Regards, Steven "Steven" wrote: I have the following code.

Hi,
a simple example of a code you could use in your file to open http://cjoint.com/?bjfjH1n6v0 "Steven" a écrit dans le message de groupe de discussion : ... I have the following code.

Not if you were really using Auto_Open.
