Where else to look for procedure call

[Guest]

I have an Excel95 file name Time.xls. Have second file called macro.xlw
which is a single sheet named MACRO and is Excel4.0 Language.

Upon open of Time.xls, error says cannot file c:\macro.xlw\macro!auto_open
whcih is assigned to run with this file. Have searched Time.xls for call
procedure command so I can disable it. Cannot find. There is no hidden
sheet. There are no hidden cells. Nothing in XLSTART. No macros attached
to this sheet that I can spot.

If macro.xlw is workspace, I should still be able to open file time.xls
independent of workspace, right?

If I copy sheet from Time.xls to another file, still get error. If select
occupied cells, copy and paste in new file, error does not happen. So
clearly this call command is somewhere, somehow connected to this sheet. I
have run out of places I can think to look.

Any suggestions?

Hold down the Shift key when you open Time.xls and you should be able to
open it.

Once it is open, go to insert=>Names=>Define and see if you can find a name
like auto_open. See what its refersto property is and alter as appropriate.

NOPE! Going through the names, auto_open ONLY refers to
=C:\Macro.xlw\macro!auto_open

And all other RangeNames are cells occupied with either a label or a fomrula
or a value, but nothing that seems to refer to the other file.

I'm running out of ideas. How about you?

What do you mean by Nope.

That is where your error is coming from.

Move Macro.xlw to the Root directory of the C drive and when you open the
file, it should run.

That should be your answer

AHA! Yes -- I see now! I had forgotten about Defined Names not necessarily
being a Range actually on the worksheet! So, when I saw the Defined Name
auto_open I was trying to find THAT PLACE on the sheet instead of paying
attention to it's refers to action.

Many thanks for setting me straight!
