Office Excel 2003 Versions and VBA

If you create a test subroutine in a test workbook:

Option Explicit
sub testme01
msgbox "hi"
exit sub

Then close (and save) that test workbook.

Then reopen it, can you run that sub yourself?

If you rename TestMe01 to Auto_open, then close (and save) and reopen, does the
Auto_open procedure run?

(Testme and auto_open should be in a general module.)

======
Can you edit the workbook_open event code?

If yes, can you just add:
Msgbox "Hi"
right near the top.

Then you'll know if the event is firing (and something else breaks) or if it's
the event that's not firing.

(And double check that Tools|Macro|Security setting.)

No, sadly, no other xls workbooks with Workbook_Open() events are working.
This is a problem.

Do other workbooks with macros run when you open them the same way?

I open the file by either:
a) Double-clicking the file from its folder.
b) Using the Excel Recent FilecHistory list.
c) Performing a "File | Open".

How do you open that workbook?

Do you open it using another macro in a different workbook?

If yes, do you use a shortcut key assigned to that macro.

If yes, does that shortcut key include the shiftkey.

If yes (again!), then remove the shiftkey from the short cut key.

Do you have events enabled when you try to open the workbook?

Close that workbook (if it's open)
tools|macro|security...|security level tab

Change it to medium (to be prompted each time a workbook containing macros
opens)
or
change it to low (to always allow macros to run)

Hi Bob,

Actually, all of it. For some reason the Workbook_Open() event just doesn't
seem to fire.

Hi all,

Have whipped the following code in Excel/VBA and placed in the
'ThisWorkbook' module. The problem that I have is that it works well with
other users using Excel 2003 Standard edition.
I'm using Beginners edition - is that why the code won't run?

The vba code:
[-- code start --]
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

'Prompt user on opening XLS to Print Worksheet and quit.

Dim Resp

Resp = MsgBox("Do you wish to Print and Exit ?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion, _
"Print & Exit ?")

If Resp = vbYes Then
ActiveWorkbook.PrintOut
Application.Quit
End If

End Sub
[-- code end --]

Please help - this is driving me nuts.

Cheers,
Cameron
