Hello,

I would like to create a macro to restart Windows when launching a calc file. How do you do that? I can't reuse my VBA script for Microsoft word.

Thank you in advance

I tested the code in the last post and it worked on my Windows 8 machine.

(I googled - vb6 restart windows - and it was the first result. VB6 is very similar too OOBasic but has a much bigger code base so if you google VB6 along with what you're looking for you might easily find it)

Thanks JeJe, it works great

I assigned the execution of the macro to open the file but I can't assign it only to my file. Now as soon as I open a calc spreadsheet, the macro is executed.

How do I make a macro that runs when I open my document only?

Go to Tools/customize/events and set the macro to the Open document event for your document only. The "save in" combo at the bottom lets you set the macro for your document only.
