I have code that executes on open. After the code runs, it saves and closes the workbook...which it is supposed to do. HOWEVER, when I disable macros, and try to open my workbook to edit my code, the code still runs, even though my excel settings have macros disabled. What.The.Heck?

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Seems a bit odd and highly unlikely, but have you tried opening the workbook manually, so as not to trigger the macro

To run the workbook without triggering the open macro
Open Excel>>File menu>> "Open" >>locate your file>>Hold down the "Shift" key while you click "Open," and continue holding it until the workbook finishes loading.

To run a workbook without triggering a startup macro, you need to open it from within Excel, rather than double-clicking the file in Windows. Open Excel, go to the File menu, click "Open" and locate your file. Hold down the "Shift" key while you click "Open," and continue holding it until the workbook finishes

lol, Micheal beat me to it
