I have an excel file with VBA macro that starts when the Workbook is opening by user.
One of the users added Protection Login password to this file, and now the Workbook_open() doesn’t react anymore.

It is excel-2003

Any Ideas?

    Seeing the full code as per Reafidy’s comment would help

    It sounds like the user is still running code if they have looked to modify it. But it is possible that this user (or other users in the future) may chose to disable macros, or corporate policy may automatically disable macros

    If it’s user choice then a standard technique is to hide all the worksheets except an splashscreen informing the user that they need to enable macros. If they have enabled macros then all the VeryHidden sheets (cannot be revealed by the standard menu) are made visible and the splashscreen is hidden when the workbook opens

    You could combine
    Brad’s splash screen code with your existing Open code
