Private Sub Workbook_Open() event won't fire if workbook is hidden?

[Mike Weaver]

I have a workbook_open event handler in a hidden workbook that doesn't seem
to fire. Is this expected behavior? If so, what is the best way to
initialize an application object with events?

Thanks in advance.

Are you opening a new instance of Excel or are you opening a hidden workbook
in the same instance of Excel?

A hidden workbook in the same instance - the hidden workbook with the
workbook_open event handler is in my excelstart folder.
