open a folder macro excel xp

delay in folder opening (windows xp)
location: winsecrets.com - date: July 5, 2006
Hi I never had this kind of problem before. My new pc from Dell is giving me headache. There are folders that don't behave right. When I try to select a folder the window won't respond thus not selecting the folder. it takes about 10 seconds to highlight the folder and I can open it then. This doesn't happen to all the folders in the machine and only happens in the Dell. I have a folder called 'A' in an external drive. This folder opens and behaves normally in other machines but it takes a long time to highlight and open in the Dell. Any idea what could cause this kind of problem? Thanks for your help. Cheers

File rename in VBA (EXCEL XP)
location: winsecrets.com - date: March 10, 2005
I have a macro that uses Acrobat v6 to print a worksheet. I have set the defaults on Acrobat to automatically over write any existing pdf file in the target directory. The created adobe file name defaults to the workbook name. For example, lets say the created adobe file is in C:my documentsmyfile.pdf. What I would like to do within Excel VBA is rename this file, say to c:my documentsnewmyfile.pdf. I do not need the file name to be dynamic---the filename needs to be the same name month after month as this file is used on the company's intranet site. Then I need to copy it to a network directory. This file will already exist in the network directory [i.e., data from the previous month] so I will need the ability to over write the

one-time macro (Excel 2002)
location: winsecrets.com - date: June 4, 2003
I have written a macro that fires when I create a new document from a template. It formats the sheets, names the file with a date-based name, saves the file to a specific folder based on the month and creates said folder it it does not already exist. Pretty cool, if I do say so myself. Problem: The macro fires each and every time the resulting file is re-opened, which really wrecks havoc. Is it possible to either kill the module after it runs once, or have is run only when the file is first created? Is it also possible to set the macro to run when a new file is created based on the template, but NOT RUN when the template itself is opened for editing?
