Starting VBE at EXCEL Start

D

Don

I'm trying to start Visual Basic Editor when EXCEL starts.

I have an Add-In that has a workbook_Open macro:

Call Appl_Position
Call AddUtilities
Call InitArrays
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.getfile(FileSpec)
If Int(Now) > Int(f.datelastmodified) Then start an appl
SendKeys "%{F11}"

It doesn't work most of the time.

Is there another way to do this.

Thanks,
Don

If you are starting an application, then it probably has the focus and your
sendkeys goes to that application.

Perhaps you want to do the send keys when you know that Excel will have the
focus.

try this:

Sub OpenVBEWindow()
With Application.VBE.MainWindow
.Visible = True
.SetFocus
End With
End Sub
