the master file spouse shares.xls files

I try to do



Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Try it without the brackets.

If that does not work you may need to specify the path.

i got this code & its working for me,



Private Sub Matched_Password()
Dim posn As Integer, i As Integer
Dim flName As String
Dim fPath As String ' path  of file

flName = ThisWorkbook.FullName

posn = 0

For i = 1 To Len(flName)
If (Mid(flName, i, 1) = "\") Then posn = i
Next i

fPath = Left(flName, posn - 1)

Workbooks.Open fPath & "\dailyreport.xls"
Workbooks.Open fPath & "\sharesfile.xls"
Call SSGC
End Sub
