Hi

I have and excel file with vba code.

When sent to another person it correctly opens in protected view. When I click the "enable editing" it runs the code but comes up with an error when "ActiveWorkbook.Name" finds no workbook.

Restart the workbook and all is fine.

Any thoughts please?
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Found the problem.
Previously on opening I had put ThisWorkbook.Name and no error.
Changed it to ActiveWorkbook.Name and error as workbook had not been made active.

Only showed up after download.
