What version and service realease of excel are

How are you assigning the macro to run the open
workbook....to a button / object or shortcut key?

I´m using 97 on NT. The macro that opens the workbook assigns when you dblclick on Image on a userform, and the macro in a just opened workbook starts at workbook_open event. There is a really simple example on what doesn´t work below under my first post "What am I doing wrong with my workbook opening". When you run it line by line with F8, you can see that the macro doesn´t perform any of the workbook editing commands eventhough it reads them. If you open the WB2 manually it works just fine...
