Question : WORKBOOK_OPEN Event not firing

I have been working on a MS Excel workbook for the past two weeks and have consistently relied on the workbook_open() event to fire every time the workbook opens.

Can you tell me why the workbook_open( ) event no longer fires.

I have created a new test worksheet and the workbook_Open( ) event fires fine. I don't understand what would cause the event not to fire, when I do need it to initialize variables and perform other tasks.

Answer : WORKBOOK_OPEN Event not firing

Hello alhuebscher,
do you have the security setting set to high? If this is the case set it to medium or low.

Another option: Did you have your macro in the ThisWorkbook code pane?

if this is not working you might think of using the next macro name:
Sub Auto_open()

place this in a new module.

I hope this is of some help.
Regards,
Jeroen
