My code below opens an excel file using a user form. My code for some reason hides the ribbon every OTHER time it opens an excel file rather than every consecutive time. Am I missing something? Is there a way to narrow down the hide ribbon to the new opened workbook and active sheet?

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    
    Dim Wbk As Workbook
    Dim Pth As String
    Dim myRange As Range
    
    Set myRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Data").Range("E2")
    
    Pth = Environ("Userprofile") & "\Desktop\Project 1 - Master Folder\Packaging Specs\"


    OpeningVar = Me.ComboBox1.Value


    Me.ComboBox1.Clear
    myRange.Clear
    
    On Error Resume Next
    
    Set Wbk = Workbooks.Open(Pth & OpeningVar)
    
    CommandBars.ExecuteMso "HideRibbon"
    
    Wbk.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
    
    On Error GoTo 0
   
    If Wbk Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Workbook not found."
    End If
    
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that it's due to that the "HideRibbon" is like a toggle button.
First time the code is run it hides the ribbon, next time it switch it back to not hidden.

Yeah, I think it was probably a toggle issue. So I came up with this If loop and it fixed my problems. I wanted to hide the ribbon for newly opened files but not my main workbook when I reveal it. Below is my final code.

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    
    Dim Wbk As Workbook
    Dim Pth As String
    Dim myRange As Range
    
    Set myRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Data").Range("E2")
    
    Pth = Environ("Userprofile") & "\Desktop\afa\BIJL8\"


    OpeningVar = Me.ComboBox1.Value


    Me.ComboBox1.Clear
    myRange.Clear
    
    On Error Resume Next
    
    Set Wbk = Workbooks.Open(Pth & OpeningVar)
    
    With Wbk
    
        ActiveWindow.Zoom = 95
    
        Wbk.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
    
        If Application.CommandBars("Ribbon").Height >= 150 Then
            CommandBars.ExecuteMso "HideRibbon"
        End If
        
    End With
    
    On Error GoTo 0
   
    If Wbk Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Workbook not found."
    End If
    
End Sub




Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()


Application.Visible = True


    If Application.CommandBars("Ribbon").Height <= 150 Then
        CommandBars.ExecuteMso "HideRibbon"
    End If


End Sub
