Hi all
I have the code below in "ThisWorkbook" which I want to run each time the document opens.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("ActiveUser").Range("B6").Value = Environ("USERNAME")

End Sub

Can anyone help me understand why the code does not work when opening a document but does when I press Run Sub?

Thanks
Milan
 
Do you have any other macros running , Event macros or otherwise ?
If you close the workbook and just before opening it again put this in the immediate window and hit enter
VBA Code:
Application.EnableEvents = True
does it then work ?
It works!

Thanks for help

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
That means you have a macro that that turns it off and either doesn't have the line turning it back on again or is not running that line before exiting the macro either because it is crashing or because of some of the logic that bypasses it.
