So, I have a very simple code:
Code:
Private Sub Worrkbook_Open()
Application.screenupdating=false
Application.DisplayWarnings = false
Application.Thisworkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").visible=xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Close()
Application.screenupdating=True
Application.DisplayWarnings = Ture
End Sub
It works fine in Excel for windows, however, in Excel VBA for Mac when user selects Disable macros, the hidden sheet is displayed. Is there anything else I should account for in a Mac ?
Your help is greatly appreciated

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Hello Raul_Rodriguez,

Welcome to MrExcel.com!

It looks like your workbook in Mac is saved when Sheet1 is not hidden. So when you disable macros, Excel has no way to make it hidden. If the Excel workbook you are using in Windows works then it should have been saved when Sheet1 is already hidden.

(Please note that it is not Worrkbook_Open, but Workbook_Open, and DisplayWarnings is DisplayAlerts, finally Ture should be True in the Workbook_Close event in your code).

That was it, it was not previously saved!! Rookie mistake. Any how thank you, the rest were typos on my posting compare to the real code on the file; And yes I did have DisplayAlerts no DisplayWarnings as I had written on the post. My bad, that can be misleading, I will be more mindful on my next posting.

You're welcome!

About the typos - I figured those are typos, but on the other side this page will be indexed in search engines, and other people who is seeking for help will likely visit this subject. It is better to explain that there is actually no DisplayWarnings method in VBA to avoid confusion for them - just as you said. That's why I put that note separately, not to correct you actually. In fact, I admire coders who directly types in the post editor, it is not something easy to do.

Glad to hear you got your problem is solved. And once again, welcome to the board!
