Hi all

I have the following code embedded on opening a workbook to ensure it functions correctly when opened on another users machine.

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()


Application.EditDirectlyInCell = False


End Sub

Is there anyway to revert back to the previous state of this on closing the workbook?

I.e. if it was True, close on True, else close on false

Thanks

Chris
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
I would try this

Code:
Public Status As Boolean

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.EditDirectlyInCell = Status
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    If Application.EditDirectlyInCell = True Then
     Status = True
        Else: Status = False
    End If
End Sub
