[dba-Tech] Excel - skip running code?

Hi all

I have been given an excel spreadsheet that I'm told needs work doing on it,
but when I open it, it prompts me for the password, which I enter, then it
immediately closes itself. I can tell it's opened ok because it's there in my
recently used files list. 

I don't know what version of Excel it was created with - I am running 2003. I
know it contains code - is there any way to open the file without any code
running, in case it is the code that's causing it to close? Something simple
like the Shift key trick in Access?

TIA

Roz
