I have a procedure that works fine when it is called from another procedure (no variables passed between then 2), and works fine when I step through it manually. However, it just "gives" up when I run it directly.

It fails at the same line of code, but does not report an error, and as I say, stepping through it manually causes now problem.

OldTemp = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:= _
"Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", Title:="Please select a file")

If OldTemp = False Then Exit Sub

Application.EnableEvents = False
Set OldTT = Workbooks.Open(OldTemp)
Application.EnableEvents = True

It fails on the penultimate line (Set OldTT = Workbooks.Open(OldTemp))

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
How are you running it when you run it directly? From a keyboard shortcut?

Does your shortcut involve the Shift key, and does the workbook that you are opening have code in the Open event? If so, try a shortcut that does not use Shift.

Yes and Yes!

It is Ctl + Shift + U

And the workbook has a procedure in the open event.

Is this an Excel bug? I will change the shortcut.

Yes, it's a bug. It relates to the use of the Shift key to prevent event code running when you open a file manually.

I know a few bits and pieces, yes. :)
