Break/disable a macro when opening a workbook

N

Niklas

Hi
I have got a Workbook which runs code in the open event, but the problem is that something in the code crashes Excel. Is it possible to open a workbook in "break mode" so I am able to debug the code in the open event?
Regards
/Niklas

Hi Niklas

Open a new excel worksheet then select tools, macros, security and increase
the security level. Next time you open the problem workbook you will be
prompted to run macros or not! (Excel 2000)
For Excel 97 I cant remember exactly but I think you tick a box on the
general tab found via tools, options.

Hello Gord

I thought "that looks a useful tip" - tried it, it does not work!
I tried by holding shift down and double clicking on the file icon and even
right clicking and selecting open - am I missing something?
