how to automatically open another work upon the opening of one workbook
Posted by Kevin Skinner on August 08, 2001 11:56 AM
I need to set something up so that when I open up workbook 'A', workbook 'B' will automatically also open up, and after workbook 'B' opens, it will switch back to workbook 'A' being the active workbook. Any way I can do this???
Thank you,
Kevin

try using this code in your "This Workbook" open event:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ChDir "U:\hpurc2\windows\Personal\GL Posting Reports\Inventory Adjustments"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "U:\hpurc2\windows\Personal\GL Posting Reports\Inventory Adjustments\Inventory Adjustments 2001.xls"
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
End Sub
The "ChDir" reflects the directory the file is located in; the Workbooks.Open Filename:=" reflects the file itself including its path, and the "ActiveWindow" statement will switch you back to the original workbook...
Was that what you wanted?

Open both workbooks. Activiate workbook 'A'.
Choose the File | Save Workspace... menu
command. Quit Excel. Now you can open both
workbooks and activate workbook 'A' by opening
the workspace. No VBA code is necessary.
