Hi! Try this in Excel 2007: First make sure Macro settings is - "Inactivate all macros and show a message". That is how the users Excel is set. I can't change that. (I have a Swedish Office so I don't know the exact frase in english)
Create two (or more) books with the following code. Private Sub Workbook_Open() MsgBox ThisWorkbook.VBProject.Filename End Sub Make sure Excel is closed. Open the 1:st file. You will now get a message in the toolbar like "Security warning Macros has been deactivated [Options]" Now open the 2:nd file. You'll get the same message again. Now you can't get any of the books to work with macros. Ok - macros work but nothing with ThisWorkbbok.VBProject - and that is what I need. Try click the [Options] in the info bar and select to activate content and you'll get "Method VBProject of object Workbook Failed". You have to activate macros in all books you open or the next book will not work. 1:st file: Open - activate => ok 2:nd file: Open - activate => ok 3:rd file: Open - deactivate => ok 4:th file: Open - activate => fail But - If you have Excel running and the code window visible and do the same thing, then you'll get a popup for each file where you can choose to deactivate or active macros. And everything works like it should just like in the good old days. Does anyone know a way around this problem? I really want this to work. The code snippet is of course just an example. The real app is doing a lot more. Thanks in advance! -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
