    stop code execution in excel when opening workbook

    Hi,
    I have an Excel application that starts running code when it opens up in:

    Public Sub Workbook_Open()
    End sub

    How can I make the code not execute or stop the debugger when opening the workbook?

    i seem to think there is a key to press
    Stop a macro while it is running
    To stop a macro before it completes its actions, press ESC.
    Start Microsoft Excel without running automatic macros
    Automatic macros, such as Auto_Activate, are designed to run when you start Excel. For more information about these macros, see Visual Basic Help.

    To prevent macros from automatically running, hold down SHIFT while you start Excel.
    Note If you start Excel from the Office Shortcut Bar, click the Microsoft Excel button on the Office Shortcut Bar first, and then immediately hold down SHIFT while Excel starts.

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Open Excel with no workbooks. Set the security level to No Macros or Macros Disabled. Then open your workbook and viola!
