Edit VBA code without automatically executing code

Got myself into a foolish situation.

I have a procedure that runs automatically when the workbook opens. When the application finishes I recently put in a application.quit.
Now I can’t get in to edit the code - it runs and quits when I open the workbook. I’m using a Surface and I can’t even find the break key!

Is there any way to edit the code without triggering the automated start of the code?

I think you could try to:
a)Open the workbook while holding de "shift key" to dissable the Workbook_Open procedure.
or
b) Dissable macros before opening the workbook
Hope it helps.

Thanks Vogelfrey - I didn't think of disabling macro's. That did it and I'm back in action. Thank you very much.
