Dear Mr.P N Rao ! Your website Analysistab is a wonderful site where one can learn a lot about excel vba.
Thanks for the nice feedback Venkat! – PNRao!
I managed to hide the status bar in Excel 2013 using the code below. I can open a new workbook without the status bar. But when I open a saved workbook, it opens the saved workbook and a new workbook. How can I open just the saved workbook alone without opening a new workbook?
