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

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
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.
